Large hoard of Roman coins found within spitting distance of my family home!

From my perspective, the most moving aspect of this thread i @DonnaMLs images of her ancestors' lost house. While it  saddened me, the silver lining is that these images are now preserved, potentially forever, on the Internet.

Would Luxembourg let @kirispupis bring his coin collection? And sell it later on?

I've actually asked this question once before.

From what I read on their website, I may be ok so long as I'm a) moving to Luxembourg, b) have had these coins for at least 6 months and c) am not bringing them with the intentions to sell them. However, I would of course need to get this verified if I were to make the move.

I'm also curious on this from an Italian perspective. I'm well aware that there's a huge amount of red tape in exporting ancient coins, but what about importing? If I properly document all coins I bring in, would I be able to then take those exact coins out?

Of course! But only if this will be his main residence.

In my hometown in the US, the historical preservationists designate anything built around 1890 as a landmark... they'd lose their minds if they grew up in the UK where 1890 is comparatively modern!

Agreed. And literally most other places in the world outside the Americas.

Since the museum has catalogued them I wonder why they don't publish them, they've had them for months!

I received quite a few photos  but the BM hasn't finished. It's annoying  but I'm waiting on a couple of catalogues from Greek Italy finds that are 130 years overdue  so I guess it's all relative. I know almost nothing about these coins, but there's Plautius Plancus coinage, c. 47 BC and  yes legionary ones.  - No idea what it is in terms  of specific interest, pearls before swine I'm afraid with me, but -

Yep, The vital Poggio Picenze IGCH 2056 has only been in the museum of Chieti unpublished for 70 years. I offered to do the NewStyle portion for free from photographs, but they deliberately played games with me.

Update: thanks to your heads up, I decided to do a full write-up with what I could find for Wikipedia.

This is my 62nd article, I will add photos once I can find Creative Commons certified photographs down the line.
