Quote:Correct, over to you, Duncan.Try this one. No ornate architecture. Just plain old archaeology. What are we looking at, and where is it?

I was afraid of this: more corners.:woot:
Beautifully photo of a Gatehouse I think.
I will try to find the location, if my hunch is not wrong :? ...it could take some time.

Somewhere in Scotland, looks like...
Quiz - Flavivs Aetivs - 01-04-2013
I think it's a fortlet, maybe a barracks.
Quiz - Vindex - 01-04-2013
A turret on the Antonine Wall?
(All the grey masonry on the housing suggests Scotland to me too ;-) )
Quiz - Jona Lendering - 01-04-2013
Duntocher, at the western end of the Antonine Wall.
Quiz - Gaius Julius Caesar - 01-04-2013
I think the time has come to rebuild the wall, so there is something more substantial for you
to post as photographs, Duncan! ;-)

I've really gotta start using Google earth for these quizzes xD

Quote:Duntocher, at the western end of the Antonine Wall.Well done, Jona! Duntocher is one of my favourite sites, because we learn so much from so little. Back to you.
Quote:A turret on the Antonine Wall?There aren't any turrets on the Antonine Wall, Moi! The square part is a fortlet (like the milecastles on HW) which was subsequently expanded to make a small fort.
Quote:(All the grey masonry on the housing suggests Scotland to me too ;-) )Ooh, miaow!
Quote:I think the time has come to rebuild the wall, so there is something more substantial for you to post as photographs, Duncan!Let's do it! :cheer:
Quiz - Flavivs Aetivs - 01-04-2013
As the Theodosian walls show, our attempts to reconstruct portions usually are inadequate and fall apart easily. It would be best to leave the Antonine wall as is.
Quiz - Jona Lendering - 01-04-2013
Here are several photos from splendid mosaics. They are from the fifth century and if you want to see them, you will have to fly to Beirut and rent a car to go to ... well, that's the question. Where are these mosaics?
Bonus question: where were they excavated (ancient or modern name will do), and what made the excavation so very special?
