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

Yes, 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.
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)

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:
