After visiting many of the famous ancient sites like Pompeii and the Palace of Knossos, and after buying the T-shirt and the novelty mugs, we were looking for a way to take home more of the wonderful things we've seen! We felt that it would be great to be able to not only buy the artefacts but to also share our passion with others.
The Team
The team currently consists of Steve and Jan.
Steve Galiotto: I originally came from Chicago (home of bulls and cows!) and after acquiring a number of degrees in various diverse subjects, I was looking for more from life. So after spending 20 years in customer service with Marshall Fields and Sears, I moved to Washington DC and was employed giving government money to education.
Looking for more adventure, I came across the pond to London and gave money to a number of charities in the south of England as a grants administrator. Some seven years' later, I took to scratching my head again to come up with another way to earn a living, and do something I thoroughly enjoy. And half an Online Relic was born.
Jan Goldsmith: I was born within the sound of Bow Bells in London (technically, that makes me a Cockney!) and am also a born-again reliquary. After bringing up a family, and gaining a number of degrees in such subjects as Energy and Environment and IT (oh no! not more programming), I also started wondering what else I could do that would express my passion for history and archaeology. Hence the other half of Online Relics was born.
