The primary purpose of the VCRC is to be a resource for teachers and students who want to learn more about the Romans, their coins, and their language--Latin. On this page you will find several projects that we have created to help you learn about Roman culture through coins. Several of the projects can be done by anyone who visits the site. The quizzes test general knowledge about things Roman (res Romanae), and the others are set up with links to important background information necessary for the project. Be sure to read all the information. Other projects may require some teacher and in-class setup. But enough introduction! We hope you enjoy these projects. If you think of others--or find others on the Web--please let us know at rcape@austincollege.edu.
