Hi Luca,<br>
<br>
That looks very nice to visit. Do you live near Milan?<br>

[Luca]

I live in Milan.<br>
<br>
From the "roman" point of view this is not the best. The local authorities are pushing it a lot on the media, but I think, just to justify the great expenses they are doing. The Antiquarium is very well done, but are not displayed "cool" items.<br>
<br>
Much more interesting the very small Archeological Museum of Milan, if you want I can post some exciting pics of the relevant things. <p></p><i></i>

I'm glad there is at least some reconstruction of Roman remains going on in Italy. Last I heard was that due to the number of sites and general lack of money (it's a recession, after all), many monuments were in a sad state of repair. Take Pompeii, for instance..<br>
Of course, I realise that Milan is in what is considered the 'wealthier' part of Italy?<br>
<br>
Any Late Roman stuff in that museum?<br>

We have dozens of small museums with very few militar things.<br>
On our Civic Archeological Museum (just an example):<br>

there are only two of these in the world. One is in Germany, but I don't know where. Yes, a masterpiece.<br>
<br>
Both anyway comes from Germany, where they were created from specialized people as gift for the Emperor (Valentinianus?) <p></p><i></i>

It's from a sarcophagus from Köln-Braunfeld, and it's kept in the Cologne Roman-German Museum.<br>

[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus]

Wasn't there some big battle in Milan with some german guy called Frederick a while back. <p>THERE ARE NO STUPID PEOPLE, ONLY PEOPLE STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'VE MADE A MISTAKE</p><i></i>
