Did Roman Soldiers Visit China?
An Interactive Investigation for History at KS3 / S1-2

We are delighted to announce the launch of Did Roman Soldiers Visit China?, our first interactive investigation in Chinese and Roman History for schools.

Designed for use in the History / Social Studies classroom (KS3 / S1-S2) the investigation allows pupil to learn about and assess a theory first put forward by professor Homer Dubs in 1955.

At the time Professor of Chinese at Oxford University Dubs argued that, in the aftermath of the Battle of Carrhae, a group of Roman soldiers travelled East, eventually settling in Han Dynasty China where they founded a Roman style-colony called Liqian.

Designed to slot into existing "Romans" coursework or to function as a stand-alone investigation, this engaging and intelligent resource comes complete with worksheets and extension taskwork, addressing the latest curriculum developments (Cross-Curricular Planning, the 4 Capacities, Skills and PLTS in History).

Supplied on a CD ROM format it can be used either on an interactive whiteboard or used on multiple terminals in an ICT suite.

"Romans in China" complements Inbox Education's exsiting 'China' titles - our Chinese Geography Unit at KS3 / S1-2 (House and Home in Traditional China) and our China across the Curriculum course in Language and Culture, Chinese for Fun.
