Dear All, Further to Umberto's note on Romanian gold mining - in 2001 I saw a little bit of Roman archaeology in Transylvania through our College participation in excavations there, and very remarkable it is. Rather than sign an internet petition, why not write to the Romanian Embassy in your country? For UK residents, the ambassador is: Mr Dan Ghibernea and the Embassy is at: 4 Palace Green, Kensington Gardens, London W8 4QD. Tony Legge
