Where do I buy Roman Antiques?
#1
I am looking for a couple pieces, not necessarily large to compliment a display I am working on that will go with me when I do events. I am already working on a 3 panel large display (like you had back in teh days of science fairs) which will have details and illustrations and information about the early 2nd century Roman Legion. I'm also putting together a small terrain model using 1:72 miniatures. So...some antiques along with a few coins I have would be a nice touch I think. But I don't want to break my wallet since I'm already diverting my cash towards my centurion impression, and i'm leary of ebay.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone!

I would take coins from official traders.

With every Ebay thinnie etc., you will support wild diggers!

And its most of the time from "Sondengänger" or other Sparetime-Diggers who destroy archaeological surfaces!
