Hi
I'm from Argentina, I live in the Province of Rio Negro, in Patagonia. I am born in the North Central of my country, in the province of Santa Fe.
As you can imagine it is very difficult to collect Roman coins, but this is no longer a hobby, it's an addiction.
Regards
Mario

Another topic I never noticed before.

I was born and live in Scotland. I have only travelled abroad for leisure, I have never lived or worked for any length of time anywhere else. Why would I?  ;D

The horse head sculptures at Falkirk, where I was born, are the largest equine sculptures in the world.

Where in Scotland, if that isn't giving too much away?

I have only visited and only parts but love the place.  Scotch, scones, beer, fish, haggis crisps, mist and bracing wind.  I understand why you don't need to leave.

Though a non-embarrassing show in the Euro Cup would be nice.....

I stay in a small village in the central belt, it only has two shops, neither of which sell coins. It's other main amenity is a road which provides the residents with access to the outside world. ;D

This vast metropolis where I now live is pictured below. ;D  It is somewhat nearer to Glasgow than Edinburgh, but I know of more coin shops in Edinburgh. I rarely visit either city though. I lived near Stirling for the first 40 years of my existence and I still prefer there to anywhere else.

Born in Blackpool Victoria Hospital, lived in Bispham (Will Hooten might know it, my great aunt Beatty lived in Fleetwood), moved to Osterley to study, moved to Switzerland, Canton Bern and have lived here just outside a small village 7 km from Biel-Bienne since then.

I was also born in Victoria Hospital! 😂 I was raised in Fleetwood until the age of around 7, being half Maltese, we moved to Malta where I grew up.

I have lived and worked in several countries ( Netherlands, Norway)… but I now call Russia home. I live in Yekaterinburg, within sight of the Urals. I don't expect to end up anywhere else now.
Collecting Roman Imperial, Provincial and Russian Medieval and Imperial coinage.
