Summary/Abstract: The School Lesson from Antique Emona had its premiere at the Slovenian School Museum in the 2014/15 school year, when Ljubljana celebrated the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the Roman Colony of Emona. The school lesson’s script is based on the foundations of the Antique culture and Latin and on assumptions made on the basis of the rare sources that confirm the existence of lessons in Slovenia during the time of Antiquity. At that time, lessons were attended mainly by the wealthier sons of Emona. On the 2000th anniversary, the school lesson was also presented outside the museum. By this year, it has been carried out 176 times. The article presents the historical starting points for reflection and the assumptions about what lessons looked like in Slovenia at that time and the connection of this with the School Lesson from Antique Emona at the Slovenian School Museum.
