In Ancient Rome
Did you know that the ancient Romans used roosters to predict the future? And that the Emperor Epoch tried to make his horse a consul? And speaking of emperors, Emperor Trajan had a colourfully painted memorial column built for him! It was like a stone comic book with his exploits carved on it. Although for exploits, those of some Roman gods, and for comic strips, the one you can draw with me after inventing your own mythological adventure.
Do you dare to travel with me to ancient Rome?
In Ancient Greece
Did you know that the ancient Greeks played sports naked, played knucklebones instead of Candy Crush, used olive oil to style their hair, and gave Olympic champions free food and money for life? Armed with her Atlas of Lost Time, Aurora Mores slips into this world where cities function as mini-countries, gods dwell among the clouds atop a mountain, and heroes face monsters with serpentine hair capable of turning you to stone with a single glance.
In Ancient the Middle Ages
Did you know that Carnival was invented in the Middle Ages? Just like crossbows—and eyeglasses, the first pair of glasses! The monks in the scriptoria must have really needed them, what with all that book copying and drawing… One of them, a nun named Ende, is considered one of Spain’s earliest female painters. If you want to be an artist too, I can teach you how to make your own parchment, a stained-glass window, or an Andalusian tile.
