Roman bulla

Did you know that all children in Roman times were given a bulla? This is a special pouch to keep a lucky charm in, which would keep them safe from sickness and wicked spirits. The girls gave theirs to their husbands when they married and the boys stopped wearing theirs when they became a man and started wearing a toga.

We have been making our own today, showing concentration, perseverance and brilliant sewing skills.
