[image error]
To be honest this isnt 100% about Ancient Rome I just liked the rhyme. But as lots of us are going to be at home over the next few weeks, I thought Id put together a few links that might help pass the time. These are some of my own favourites please chip in and share yours in the comments!
(Im not affiliated to these sites in any way, and cant guarantee what youll find when you get there. I just use and enjoy them as a member of the public.)

Thanks, Ruth. These look awesome! I look forward to exploring!
Here are some other links:

Numerous options in the article below:
(be warned, the Broadway shows require, in most cases, one be a member of a streaming service. If you aren't, most have free trial periods if you want to binge watch anything at all.)

If you have a library card, Hoopla has a selection of movies and TV programs available:

There's also Libby from Overdrive. The phone app allows you to check out ebooks with your library card. (I believe you can apply for a library card and search other libraries than your own, but don't quote me on that; I've not explored it all yet.)

Thanks Monica - these look great, I'll have an explore! (Sorry for the slow reply. I seem to have got a bit confused with all the different methods of online communication in these very strange times.)
Stay safe.
