[QUOTE="Mat, post: 2044561, member: 21445"]Today I went to the california science center to see the Pompeii exhibit that was going to close in a few weeks. I had a fairly good time but it went pretty quick. What was amusing was the "XXX" portion of the exhibit was pretty bare & was closed off, to kids of course. But considering thats one of the popular draws to roman history to the average person I was surprised to see it so sparse. The coins were a joke, one little box on the wall with coins mostly of Vespasian, Titus and many Roman Republics, most in bad shape. Couldnt get a good photo of it. As usual coins are an after thought. Couldnt see the reverse of them. [B]I took over 60 pictures & if you have a facebook account, you can view them publicly without being a friend, if you dont have facebook account, then I guess your out of luck.[/B] Link to the photos are below.
