Off topic, but I was amused to see an ad on the page for Shen Yun performances in London.

Did you notice that all the depicted helices are right-handed? [nerdsniff] well, i did. (“Beware kiddies! once you start to notice twisty things in your environment you spend all your time noting the handedness of wires, vines, tree-bark, pasta, swooning at wrong-way illustrated DNA fragments …'t’ain’t healthy!”)

Why restrict yourself to just Roman?
I suppose there’s probably some newly buried cash in Ukraine right now.

Well, yeah, there are thousands of years of history to find cool stuff in Europe. America has under 500 for metal. (But we do have native arrowhead and tools, and fossils) But one is more likely to find a bunch of copper roman coins than a pile of Anglo-Saxon gold coins.
