"When in Rome ..." Topic

This is planning ahead a bit, but here goes.

I'm going to be in Rome for a business trip in mid-January. After work is done I have the option to stay over Friday night and come home on Saturday which gives me Friday evening the 20th and most of Saturday the 21st (until about 4PM) free.

Is there a wargames club where maybe I could get a game on either day ?

I play V&B, HoTT, DBO, POW and FOG at my local club, but would be happy to try any system really. If DBA or HoTT is an option, I'll even bring an army.

Failing that, can folk recommend a museum or two that would interest a wargamer/re-enactor ? Especially the pre-Roman period and the 16/17th C …

Thanks in hope,

Frankly, to spend some free time in Rome wargaming would be a crime!. Visit the Colloseum, Trajan's column and the Forum Romanum and walk in the steps of some of history's greatest (albeit most bloodthirsty) characters. I'd also recommend the Trevi Fountain especially the ice cream shops there. Not sure of opening times but on Sat morning you might be able to visit the Vatican Museum and the Cistine Chappel. I've done all of these and the experience is fantastic.

Yes, I know.

I've done the main sites twice or three times already, and it's a lovely city. I went with my wife 25 years ago, and we want to go back and do them again, but she can't go this time.

Hence, museums with a particular interest or games …

(but I found it poor and a little boring, maybe because I prefer ancient history)

Enjoy your visit, ciao :)

I want to join to the question:)
I am interested in addresses of shops for the sale of miniatures and shops for the sale of military-historical literature. Preferably in the "old town".

Thank you in advance anyone who can help me advice or links

I hope you end up paying less than 14 euros to use a toilet. And 22 euros for some lasagne. We walked away from the lasagne but needed to go desperately, so 14 euros it was. There was just no other option (well apart from the Friday/Saturday night quaint British custom of just going in the street and not giving a toss about who sees you). It's like the Middle Ages in some of our town centres now.

:))))) Excellent advice. In Russia (St. Petersburg), such attractions less expensive – a toilet for just 1 U.S. dollars, and lasagna $ 15 (toilet comes as a free bonus to lasagna.
I would like to hear about the miniatures, which I would like to buy in the gap between using the toilet and eating lasagna :))))
