REF, SEC: Roman coins

[Linda Schloegel <schloegell@HOME.COM>]

Hello,
    Today some 6th grade students came in with old Roman coins.  Their
teacher thought it would be a good research project for them to find out a)
whose head was depicted on the coin, and b) approximately when the coin was
minted.
    Help! We searched for over an hour, and I'm stumped.  None of our print
resources had the answers, and we've been unable to find a website with that
information.  If anybody knows of one, please tell me.  It seems that more
students will be coming with their coins tomorrow.
Thanks in advance,

Linda Schloegel, MLIS
