Unit 9, sesión 7

Hi guys! As you have already given all the contents of the topic, it is time to expand your learning.

First of all, we are going to have a debate on what things in our culture you think derive from the Roman legacy (such as customs, language, etc.). 

I'll start: did you know that Christianity was the official religion of the empire and that's why festivities such as Christmas or Holly Week derived from it? Or that they created the twelve-month calendar with leap years and the seven-day week? Moreover, the names of the months come from the Romans: e.g. Julius from Julius Caesar and August from Augustus.

What do you know?

After this debate, we are going to check if we were right and learn some things we didn't know:
