Welcome to Rerum Natura!  This is a student-authored web site whose goal is to create an overview of the Romans' views of the natural world, and how their ways of describing it have reached into modern times, especially through scientific language.  It is an ongoing project and we welcome feedback!  Let us know if this site is useful to you, or suggest how we can make it better, by contacting the site's faculty coordinator, Dr. Andrea Deagon.  At this point, the site is in the first phases of construction, so bear with us!
