Quiz - Gaius Julius Caesar - 09-16-2012
Dacia? Starts with an 'S'?

Quote:Dacia? Starts with an 'S'?If it is Sarmizegethusa, it's a view that isn't normally shown in the textbooks. I hope you are right, Byron! :wink:

mmm too far to the east, it's not really easy especially from this angle.
The photo is oriented to the west, if the weather wasn't that cloudy/foggy you could spot an very important city in the distance
Quiz - Tormenta - 09-18-2012
Tip: the mentioned city-the most obvious one :-) and we(you) are looking for a villa rustica

getting closer
Quiz - D B Campbell - 09-19-2012
Quote:getting closerYes, I wasn't really convinced by my own answer. For one thing, I'm not sure that any "major city" can be seen from Licenza. (I think Horace's villa looks east.) Perhaps someone else will have a better idea.
Quiz - Nathan Ross - 09-19-2012
Is it... the supposed villa of Vespasian at Reate?
Quiz - Tormenta - 09-19-2012
Maybe I chose a difficult one

Quote:Maybe I chose a difficult oneI think so.
Quote:the next photo should helpNot necessarily!
Since no-one else has had a go, I'm going to guess again. How about the supposed Villa of Pliny the Younger at Castelfusano (which I've never seen)?
Quiz - Tormenta - 09-22-2012
Let's forget about this one. The place is near Bocchignano or Poggio Mirteto it's supposed owner was Marcus Terentius Varro. I found this place a few years ago when visiting a colleague in Rome. I liked the view and the hight on which the villa was constructed . map
Now something really easy(closer to my home)

where is it?

Quote:Now something really easy(closer to my home). where is it?Nice one, Miha. I almost shouted "Maison Carrée in Nîmes", before I noticed that your temple is tetrastyle, whereas the Maison Carrée is hexastyle. Hmmm, more thinking required. :whistle:
Quiz - caiusbeerquitius - 09-22-2012
Is that the "Temple of Augustus" in Pula?
Quiz - D B Campbell - 09-22-2012
Quote:"Temple of Augustus" in PulaLooks lovely. Thanks for sharing, Miha. (It was definitely a little more straightforward than Varro's villa!! :wink: )
