About this game

Review the lesson “Rome between myth and history”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “Rome between myth and history”, from the unit “Founding stories, beliefs, and citizenship in the ancient Mediterranean in the 1st millennium BCE.” Its questions are about the birth of Rome: what its legend tells, what Roman authors wrote about it much later, and what archaeologists have found on the site of the city.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks and matching. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.

The game follows the French national curriculum: 6e is the first year of middle school in France, for students aged 11 to 12. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.

Tip for a successful review

For each question, ask yourself whether it is about a legendary story, a text written centuries later, or remains found in the ground. And remember: we say “according to legend…”. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
