Teaching in ancient Rome was heavily characterized by discipline and practical application. A Roman teacher, also called a Magister, used the wax tablet to teach students reading and writing. These tablets consisted of a wooden frame filled with a thin layer of wax. Letters were scratched into the soft wax with a stylus made of metal or bone. Errors could easily be smoothed over.

Young Romans first attended the Ludi Magister, where they learned basics like the alphabet and simple arithmetic exercises. Later, particularly talented students could deepen their language and literature knowledge with a Grammaticus. The wax tablet was an everyday tool in school that could be repeatedly re-written – quite different from our fixed sheets of paper today.

Besides classical teaching, reasoning played a significant role in the later training of a rhetorician. Students practiced free speaking in front of an audience and learned speaking techniques that were sought after in politics or at the imperial court. The wax tablet was also used here to record drafts and keywords.

At home, children also learned to read and write, often with the help of their parents or slaves acting as writing masters. The conscious use of the wax tablet not only promoted fine motor skills but also concentration. You now have this image motif before you.

The teacher's clothing was usually a simple tunic, sometimes complemented by a toga when he held an official title. In the coloring pages, these garments are an ideal model for warm earth tones or vibrant fabric colors like purple, which was favored by the imperial elite. You can also color the wax tablet in delicate brown tones and the stylus in metallic gray to achieve a realistic result.

Archaeological finds confirm that wax tablets existed in various sizes – from handy tablets for school use to large specimens for public announcements. They were hung on walls or bound together with leather straps. Some tablets have survived to this day, allowing us a glimpse into the everyday life of Roman students.

By coloring, you not only create a creative image but also gain a small insight into an important tool of ancient education. The simple yet elegant style of these utensils makes the motif interesting for both hobby artists and teaching materials. Take the opportunity to combine your knowledge about the Roman Empire with artistic fun.
