A Day In Pompeii - San Diego Style

Wow! I want to go. Consider the history of the exhibit! If any one of those items could talk it probably would never stop screaming.

Side note: A 2000 year old coin came into our store last week. The guy made us promise that we would not touch it without gloves, but once he left I slipped it right out its case and into me hand. I couldn't help myself -- to be able to hold, in my own sweaty little palm, something that old! I couldn't help but wonder how many degrees I was back to its original holder. Perhaps it was one of the coins spilt by Christ himself when he drove out the money changers from the Temple! Or, maybe not. But either way it was impressive.
