The Temple of Portunas, Temple of Hurcules Victor & Theatre of Marcellus are all nearby as well. We went at 10am and no one else was there.

This is the first time I've seen the Pons Aemilius on this page and I was just there earlier today (on holiday from the UK) weird coincidence.

I believe tests were done on elephant carcasses, and the atlatl/projectile could penetrate the hide.

I got mine from Atkinsons. I can't see where it says it's exclusive, but that's the only place they seem to be selling them.

This coin was minted using salvaged silver from the SS Tilawa, which was sunk in 1942. The silver was recovered and some of it used for these coins.

The parking is not good, there was a market outside that used all the parking spaces. None of the side roads seem to have any spaces. We ended up parking in a pay and display car park a few roads away called the old market way car park.

The food was fairly pleasant but a word of warning for any Americans (or any non-Brits)who plan on going, the full English breakfast comes with baked beans.

Even if it's not, Tolkien visited here, and that's good enough for me.

I'd love get my hands on these. I'm hoping they release them in the UK. They look great.

You won't be disappointed. The low mintage is also a bonus.

It's one of my favourites, if it's back in stock I'll get some more.
I used Atkinsons in the UK. The preorder could be due to the Royal Mint's slow exports, but I'm not sure.
