I found my 200th plumbata today. A milestone, so to speak. :wink:
Nr. 200 was found near Belchin, Bulgaria, at a Late Roman site named 'Tsari Mali Grad' (Roman name lost).
A nicely situated site judging by the pictures of the excavation: http://bnr.bg/sites/en/100NTS/Pages/2211...tress.aspx
Apparently there are plans for a restauration and a museum: http://www.gbs-bg.com/en/2012/06/the-res...e-28-2012/
