Review the lesson “The Roman Empire and the Roman peace”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “The Roman Empire and the Roman peace”, from the unit “The Roman Empire in the ancient world.” Its questions are about the Roman Empire: what changes in Rome when the Republic gives way to the Empire, who the first emperor is and how he holds on to power, how the city of Rome lives and is fed, what is called the Roman peace, and how the provinces of the Empire are organized.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, matching and timelines. 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, first figure out which period it is about: the Roman Republic, or the Empire that replaces it. For dates, check whether they are “BC” (before Christ) or “AD” (Anno Domini, after Christ): in BC, the bigger the number, the older the date (100 BC comes before 10 BC); in AD, it is the other way around (AD 50 comes before AD 150). And for a “True or false” question, read every word: a single wrong detail is enough to make the sentence false. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
