[Gaius Julius Camillus]

Hello guys,

 

My wife and I are preparing for a move to Rome sometime within the next 6-9 months. We are looking at the various archaelogical digs, but one does get wary and wonder if they are legit. You just never know these days, and I am hesitant to send money so easily for tuition or living expenses. So I figured I would ask the people, since surely some of you are from Italy or Rome herself.

 

Any suggestions about various digs, schools in Rome for Archaelogy, and the best way to search for living accomodations would be welcome. Any information that you can give me would be most appreciated.

 

 

sincerely,

 

GJC
