    Hi coinfriends,

    I'm currently visiting Rome (for the second time, the former being during the last millenium, and things have changed a bit) and thought you might be happy to see some pictures of mine. No coin shopping here, that wasn't the purpose of the trip (but I recently bought a few that I will show in a short future)

    Best thing is to bore the ones with you by telling all you know about those places. They´ll love it! :confused:

    There is a numismatic shop near Termini (Plus the Gnecchi collection in the Museo Nazionale Romano a few blocks from there -Highly recommended-) and another one near Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.

    Great pics Q! Thank you for sharing. Coincidentally, today a denarius of Clodius Albinus came in the mail, with ROMAE AETERNAE reverse...

    Nice! I was in Rome for a couple days a few months ago. Sadly I could only see a couple thing.

    Nice pics, Q! I visited Rome in 2014 and your photos bring back fond memories. A botched iPhone backup made me lose practically all of my own.

    While I sure believe that, the (great) photos that you posted suggest otherwise, hehe. Enjoy your stay!
