Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4204199, member: 110350"]I was in Toronto from Friday until last night visiting my son at the U. of Toronto, and thought I'd post some photos I took of sculptures and coins, mostly at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum).  First, though, one photo from the Lillian Malcove Collection at the U. of Toronto Art Museum -- a Byzantine steelyard weight in the form of an unidentified empress:  [ATTACH=full]1077902[/ATTACH] Next, photos of sculptures and other non-coin objects from the ROM.  (We went twice -- once on Saturday to see the Chinese and other Asian art, and once on Sunday for the Ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art.  I took photos only on Sunday.)
