The Educational Tour Marm

Educational Student Tour blog and forum as well as the stories behind the tour sites. Need advice about your trip? Ask the Tour Marm! Join me on the road to new adventures that will enhance on-site teaching on curriculum-based school field trips. I'll be making the connections amongst the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped America as well as tips to run a successful program. For schools, home schools and family travel. Post questions each Friday.

This is from the Fitzwilliam Museum, Hart Collection. It is said that they have the finest example of this coin, a denarius, extant. Here is their website: http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk

You might have some words of wisdom for the rest of the post tomorrow!

cheers!; March 15, 2007 at 2:57 PM
