Use the blackline master of the Roman World (Map of Roman Trade Routes2.doc) to complete Activities 1-5 :

1. Label the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea
2. Label the following on the map
• Rome
• Britain
• France (Gaul)
• North Africa
• Greece
• Spain
• Egypt
3. Complete online research to determine the products imported by Rome from at least four of the regions that you labeled.  You may add any other regions for which you found information on exports to Rome.
4. Draw an arrow from each of the regions to Rome and list the product(s) exported from those regions to Rome.
5. Using Microsoft Word, construct a chart that captures the information illustrated on the map.  Your chart should contain two columns: (a) name of the region and (b) products exported to Rome.

You can print the blackline master of the Roman World and complete it using crayons, colored pencils, or markers.  If you prefer, you can complete the map using Microsoft Word or copy and paste the map into a drawing program.
