pompeius magnus Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I find it fascinating how you can just be digging around in Rome and in their former colonies and find hidden parts of Roman architecture and such. The biggest discovery I have ever had was some pottery from the Civil War only 150 or so years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
