A Lesson Plan

I was honored to visit Prof. Sailakshmi Ramgopal’s Roman history class at Columbia to give an introduction to Coins. I was asked to share my materials and when I do so I like to keep an archive here for future reference.

This particular class centers Commodus as that is where the students were in the semester. I give variations of this class with numerous other tailored set pieces and depending on the audience more on the origins of coinage and more on the global phenomenon of money.
