Re: Quiz - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-18-2012
Thanks for your patience and understanding gentlemen!
This body of water is not worth sailing to war on,
But in war it would be worth a thousand ships!

Uh... a well?
I suck at these things lol. I don't know anything about archaeological sites.

Quiz - PhilusEstilius - 12-19-2012
Thinking about 1,000 ships could it be a well at Troy.

Re: Quiz - Flavivs Aetivs - 12-19-2012
True.
I'm thinking maybe the bay of lepanto? OR maybe actium.

Well, Brian was on the right track, but the wrong side.
Duncan, yes, you are Spot on!
This well/cistern, is actually right outside the entrance to the stairs to the underground cistern,
IIRC, these pics are a few years old. There is another entrance through the citidel walls from the small courtyeard this well and the underground cistern entance are in, I guess an escape/sally port.

It's looking familiar. Behind the Pantheon in Rome, if I remember correctly.
The obelisk probably from Egypt or transported by the Romans from there or from the Issis - Minerva temple that was somewhere near(guessing).

The obelisk probably from Egypt or transported by the Romans from there or from the Issis - Minerva temple that was somewhere near(guessing).Quite correct -- well done! It's an Egyptian obelisk supposedly marking the general area of Domitian's Temple of Isis, behind the Pantheon in Rome.

It shouldn't be difficult.
What and where? I already posted something similar earlier this year.

That must be right, as I remember standing next to Miha when he was making that pic.
