In this link you will find the technical sheet of each of the didactic workshops that we offer this academic year.
In the Saguntina Domus Baebia we think of teaching workshops as historical reenactments, bringing back the lives of the people who lived in the town of Sagunto back in 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. We know them with great detail thanks to the inscriptions kept in the town.
The gens Baebia was a prominent family of Saguntum, headed by the pater familias, Lucius Baebius Hispanus, who will lead us during our reenactment through Roman daily life, culture, politics and religion.
Along with Lucius, we shall approach Ancient Culture to the students who visit the Domus Baebia, letting them witness first-hand the daily routine of the members of the Baebia family (religious rituals, banquets, celebrations, work, etc.).
It is important to bear in mind that the historical characters who guide us in these workshops were fully real, and thus, the relationships between them are historical too (with the exception of Baebia Fulvia, daughter, and Oppia and Eros, who are a couple). There are so many characters precisely because we wanted each one of them to be represented in the many workshops we offer in the Domus.
