Sprague de Camp?&nbsp; It is an alternative history of Rome at the time of the Gothic Wars - Wikipedia has an article on it with a rundown of the plot.&nbsp; A c. 1938 American archaeologist finds himself in Rome in the 6th century with nothing but the clothes on his back and a pocketful of Italian money of the Mussolini era.&nbsp; As I recall, his first visit is to a money-changer who goes over his weird coins (nickel!) and makes a deal...alternate history with coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lest_Darkness_Fall" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lest_Darkness_Fall" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lest_Darkness_Fall</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
