1735. ROME (ITALY) to BAGoodELONA. Mark ROMA, in black circulated through the Spanish post office in Rome (PE119) 2004 edition. MAGNIFICENT AND EXTRAORDINARILY RARE, IT IS ALMOST PROBABLY THE OLDEST MARK USED IN THIS TOWN, DATE MUCH BEFORE THE ONE INDICATED IN TIZON'S WORK. Ex-Antonio Cuesta. (We are grateful for the contribution of Esteve Domenech, where he indicates that this mark is a variant of the one catalogued by Tizón, as it is a completely rectangular mark, there are five known letters in total)
