Too bad he didn't give the coordinates: don't know them do you?

Re: Google Earth Roman sites - andym - 03-05-2006
I have been looking and have come up with a few more.i wonder if there might be a use for a dedicated forum for google spottings.The Google earth Community maybe some where where we could store the various finds?

Cool link! There's also something (two straight lines) between the house on the right edge and the centre of the 'circus'.
Re: Google Earth Roman sites - aitor iriarte - 03-22-2006
There are in fact three but they don't look to be related to the circus. perhaps later features, even old field boundaries!
That circus look strange in the sense that it is symmetrical. Circuses have commonly one flatter edge to accomodate the carceres (chariot boxes) :?

And, something to the northeast - richsc - 03-23-2006
Also appears to be something to the northeast, some parallel lines? But is this a city or just a country race track?
If there is no city / town nearby, then I'll be it's a training track and there will be a villa somewhere.

I have discovered that archeologists confirms that it is a circus. It will not be excavated, but it is a known archeologic site.-

750 m hippodrome impressive!
interesting features nearby -
43°19'53.22"N
11°27'47.92"E
possible site could be that hill under the forest 750 m to the north from the hippodrome.
Cold Water - alanmac100 - 02-03-2007
HI Guys,
I hate to pour cold water on this but I have been informed that some jerk/s are actually overlaying the Google Earth maps. The 'Circus' is pretty much too good to be believed. Has anyone referred this to the relevent authority, ie do they know of its existence.
Try this one, see what you think 27 22'08.04N 33 37'58.69E
In November '05 we flew from Luxor to Cairo and you could clearly see a Roman fort some 30mins flying time from Cairo. This was in close proximity to a large Eye shape in the desert. I can't find this one, but it is something to look out for.

As I mentioned above, the circus is "officially" recognized by the Cultural Heritage in Italy, but no excavations are planned. When we made it public through the publication on RAT, it was already well known to the local authorities, at least they say so.
how about GPS poi list? - richsc - 02-05-2007
this is probably another thread, but how about putting all these locations into a GPS points of interest format, so that they can be added into our GPS as custom sites? Isn't it just a CSV format, with name, address and coordinates?
Re: Google Earth Roman sites - Luca - 02-05-2007
I did it for Garmin devices on the page http://www.romanhideout.com/poi.asp
The file contains already this "discovery".
if you have a tomtom device I believe you can easily translate the .csv file into something compatible with that.
Great! - richsc - 02-06-2007
Wonderful! Laudes to you Luca! Now, do that for the Limes, Hadrian's Wall, .....
