Ancient Rome Websites

Hey everyone! Welcome to our 6 West Blog! Hopefully you all found it all right! I found a bunch of websites for your upcoming project. You should be able to click on the website and go right to it! My apologies if it's blocked through the school. I set it up at home, so it's hard to tell what would be allowed and what wouldn't be! Sorry there are so many, but it should make it a lot easier! Remember to use at least 3 sources! Just a helpful hint (because I did this myself), hit the back arrow when you are finished with the page you are on, otherwise you will have to re-enter the blog website. Happy Researching!
