All the workshops were held outdoors. The inspectors present: Mr. Jean-Pierre Grosset-Bourbange and Ms. C\u00e9cile Merckel were impressed by these cultural outreach activities and will publish an article on the Strasbourg Academy\u2019s website to encourage French Latin teachers to cross the Rhine to conduct this type of experimental archaeology session, which captivated the 150 Latin and Greek scholars gathered for this European Day.<\/p>\n<p>WORKSHOPS:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Moretum (fresh Roman cheese with herbs), bread baking in a Roman clay oven<\/li>\n<li>Pottery (and crafts for younger children)<\/li>\n<li>Museum:
