Mnemonic: Roman Room System

Hi guys! Roman Room System is the system which was used back in the Roman period. Back in the Roman period, they had to memorised all poems and documents in their head, because there was no paper. Mnemonic itself was named after the Roman God of Memory, Mnemosyne. They used this Roman Room System.

Roman Room System means that the system uses rooms as the loci(location where you memorise something).

When a Roman wanted to memorise something, he/she put the things at certain locations.
For example:
Memorising:
book
sword
lion
axe
wine
The Roman made his/her Roman Room System first, he/she imagined a house which had lots of rooms. The rooms were filled with details, and all he/she had to do was to put the things he/she wanted to memorise at those locations.
For example: He/she had a beautiful garden, and also a beautiful door made of pure gold. When he/she entered the house, on his/her right there was a library filled with cabinets and there was also a fireplace. The next room was his bedroom, there was a bed in the middle of the room, and also a TV.
Associating things: At the garden, he found a book. He/she wanted to put the book at the library, when he/she entered the house, he/she saw a sword on the floor. He took the sword, turning right to the library. At the library, he saw a lion, then stabbed the lion with the sword. To cut its head, he took an axe and cut off its head. Then, he went to his bedroom, to relax by drinking wine.
That way, you'll be able to memorise things quickly.

Make your own Roman Room System:

1. Get a piece of paper.
2. Get a pencil, colour pencil if possible.
3. Draw the map of your house, fill it with lots of details, like the colour, and also adding things like lamps, chandelier, vases, carpet, and other things.
4. Imagine your house with all its insides. Walk through your house to know your house inside out.

When you are ready, associate things to your house, remember the key point: wild imagination! The wilder you get, the more memorable they will be.

The advantage of this system:
You'll never run out of places! Because you can always extend your house! Add some more rooms, details, gardens, escalators, and other things! It doesn't always have to be a house, you can make a castle, hotel, and even your own town! Just make sure to know its inside out!

Good luck!
Have fun^^!
