What was education like in Roman times?
Children born to wealthy families in Rome or near the heart of the Empire would have had a comfortable life, with their own tutor, or pedagogue, to instruct them. Parents who could afford it would send their boys to school, but girls were expected to work or help their parents at home. Most poor children had no education and had to work. Other children were sold as slaves as soon as they were born.
