Roman Hispania (Unit 12-Science Y5)

In the previous lessons we have learnt about THE PREHISTORY and THE IBERIAN PENINSULA IN PRE-ROMAN TIMES.

Now we are going to finish this topic talking about ROMAN HISPANIA. To introduce this topic we are going to use a video about a Spanish City. At the end of the video you have to answer this question:

• What reminds or things does the video show us about Roman Times?

ROMAN TIMES. 

2000 years ago Romans defeated the Cartaginiasn. 

The peninsula became part of Roman Empire: HISPANIA

At the end conquered tribes adopted Roman customs and spoke latin.

Hispania was Roman for 600 years.

After about 400 A.D the Roman Empire weakened.

Visigothic entered in the peninsula from the north part of Europe.

ROMAN CITIES.

The Roman founded many cities like Tarraco (Tarragona), Sagunto and Hispalis (Sevilla)

They were modelled on Rome.

They had two main streets and the forum 

(large public square for important events)

Roman cities were connected by excellent stone roads.

ROMAN ARCHITECTURE 

Temples were used for religious purposes

Theatres, amphitheatres and circuses were used for entertainment.

Aqueducts transported water.

Public bath houses used hot water. 

LET'S REVIEW WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT.

Let's use the THINKING ROUTINE: THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. With the green you will say what you know, in orange what you need some support to achieve it and in red what you haven't achive or you have lot of problems. 

The Iberian Peninsula in the pre-Roman times

Today we are going to work with a new THINKING ROUTINE. It is called THE MISTERY QUESTION. You have to think on what we learnt the last lesson: THE PREHISTORY. Once you have in mind you have to create a question that maybe one of your partners could not understand. The teacher will try to answer and explain better that points.

Once we have solved all the questions and everything is clear we are going to watch a video to learn a bit more about PRE-ROMAN TIMES. Pay attention because at the end of the video you have to answer the following questions:

• Where is the place the video is talking about?
• What was the main crop Iberians had?

PRE-ROMAN TIMES

The peninsula was inhabited by Iberians and Celtic tribes.

Then Phoenicians, Greeks and Cartigians came through Mediterranian Seas.

THE IBERIANS AND THE CELTS

Iberians lived in the east and south.

They lived in walled settelments and rectangular houses, they are divided into tribes.

They were herders, farmers, traders and craftsmen.

Celts lived in the centre and the north.

They lived in walled settements with round houses, they are divided into tribes. 

They were herders, farmers and expert metalworkers.

COLONIES

Phoenicians came from Asia, and settled on the southern coast.

Cadiz and Almunecar.

Greeks came from Greece, settled in the Mediterranean coast.

Denia and Ampuria.

Carthaginians came form North Africa, settled in the Mediterranean coast.

Cartagena. 

LET'S PLAY AND CONTINUE LEARNING:

PREHISTORY (Unit 12-Science Y5)

Let's start a new topic, as we are used to, we are going to start with a THINKING ROUTINE. We are going to look for CSI (Colour, Symbol, Image). In the following chart you will have to colour, look for a symbol and draw an image about the topic PREHISTORY. 

We will watch this video about general information about prehistory. At the end of it you will have to answer these questions:

• What are the characteristics of prehistoric hunter?
• What are the characteristics of HOMO ERECTUS?
• What are the characteristica NEANTHERTAL?

PREHISTORY

The long period before the invention of writing. 

Stone Age.

Half million years ago. Stone tools were used.

Paleolithic period.

People moved from place to place.

Hunting, fishing and gathering plants.

Neolitic period. 

People lived permanently in one place. 

Farmers, crops, domestic animals.

Metal Ages.

Seven thounsand year ago. Metal tools were used.

The wheel was invented.

First cities were built. 

FIRST CRAFTSMEN
Paleolithic Period: They made tools and weapons hitting one stone against another.

Neolithic Period: They made polished stone tools and weapons, also pots and cloth.

Metal Ages: They made metal tools, weapons and jewellery.

FIRST ARTISTS
Cave paintings, like Altamira Cave, are manificent works of art.
They often paint animals. 

LET'S REVIEW ALL YOU HAVE LEARNT. 

ROMAN HISPANIA (Unit 11-Science Y6)

Let's move into our HISTORY TIMELINE. This time we are going to learn about ROMAN HISPANIA. It is said when the Iberian Peninsula was inhabited by the Romans.

This video will show you the life on Roman Times by a 10 year-old children:

A big part of Europe was inhabited by the Romans during this time. It was the Great Roman Empire.

In 218 B.C.Romans defated the Carthaginiasn in a war, so they started to control de Mediterranean Sea.

You could look at the map to discover how they did it.

They Completed the conquest of the Iberian Península in 19 B.C. Because of the resistance of people in the interior.

You could look at the maps how Romans did it.

ROMAN RULE:

• The peninsula became a part of the Roman Empire. It was called Hispania.
• Inhabitans adopted Roman customs, and they were ruled by Roman law.
• They spoke Latin.
• The governor was a Roman person. 
• The Iberian leaders became the Roman Aristocratic class, and part of the goverment. 

END OF THE ROMAN RULE:

After about 400 A.D. Germanic tribes from the central and northern Europe invaded Hispania and conquered the Territory. The Roman lost the control of the península. 

You could at the map how Germanic tribes invaded the Iberian Peninsula.

Romans were very good at Architecture, transport and communication. They constructed:

• Theatres, circuses, amphitheatres and thermal baths for people's entertainment. 

• Triumphal arches and columns were built to commemorate important events such as victory in a battle. 

• Ports, bridges and aqueducts were built to improve life in the cities. 

• Romans also built stones roads between cities of the peninsula and between Hispania and other parts of the Empire. 

LET'S TAKE PART ON THIS QUIZZ AND CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT.

PRE-ROMAN TIMES (Unit 11-Science Y6)

When we talk about pre-Roman Times we are speaking about all the time which goes from the Prehistory to the Roman Empire in the Iberian Península. 

During this time in the Iberian Peninsula there were different groups of inhabitants: The Celts, The Iberians, The tartessians, The Phoenicians, The Greeks and The Cartaginians.

With this video you will understand better the beggining of this period, Let's have a look to the history of the Celts. 

The Iberians: they lived in the east and south of Spain. They were warriors, herders, farmers, craftsmen, merchants and slaves.

The Celts stayed in Spain in the north and the centre. Their tribes were divided into family clans. They were herders and farmers. They were also expert metalworkers, they made jewellery, weapons and tools.

Celts and Iberians mixed to form the Celtiberians. 

The Tartessians lived in the Guadalquivir valley (It was rich in metals: gold, silver and copper). They were great travellers and expert metalworkers and salt producers. 

The Phoenicians were traders from Asia. They were settled on the south coast. They founded Gades (Cadiz). Thay became important trading partners of the Tartessians. 

The Greeks settled on the Mediterranean coast. They came to trade ceramic objects for metals. They founded the city of Denia. 

The Carthaginians came from the North Africa to trade metals and cloth. They also settled on the Mediterranean coast and founded the city of Cartagena. 

All of this colonising civilisations left culturan legacies, such as the alphabet and metal coins.
