Editor notice: You will find below the translation of the French issue, March 2007. So, the sources of information, concerning in a 1st time a large non specialist French speaking public, are in French. Second, most of the exhibitions quoted, apart the fact that they have taken place in France, Belgium or French speaking Switzerland, are now closed. All these references however seemed to us interesting for the ones of you who travel, are interested in researches or are fond of *everything* related to ancient Rome.
