A sticker album is a book in which a person sticks collectable stickers in designated sections. Sticker album themes can be sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup or TV shows like Doctor Who.
The stickers are usually sold in blind packs, so the purchaser does not know which bumper stickers they are buying. This can mean a collector has to buy huge numbers of packs to complete their collection. Collectors get around this problem by swapping or selling their spares with other collectors. Panini, the largest producer of sticker books insist that they produce equal numbers of all the stickers in every collection. It has become increasing common to swap stickers banner and trading cards online on websites such as www.stickerpoints.com this quickly enables traders to complete the albums without the expense of buying multiple duplicate cards and stickers.

Emperor Hadrian gave orders to build his mausoleum in 135 AD on the model of the funerary monument of the first emperor of Rome, Octavian Augustus.
The construction has spanned almost twentieth centuries and will celebrate its nineteen hundred years of history in 2035.
The Hadrian mole, as it was called at the time of ancient Rome, was a privileged witness to the history of this extraordinary city and thanks to its structure and strategic position it did not suffer the fate of ancient monuments, but was integrated from time to time into the daily life in Rome, adapting to the needs of the city.
