Webcams showing Roman sites and other places of antiquity

[Tiberius Clodius Corvinus]

hi there,

I've gathered a collection of links to webcams that show Roman and similiar antiquity sites or places of archaelogical importance you might like. Some cameras seem down but will hopefully back on track in the future. so I included them anyway.

these are all I found so far, but there should be more. would be cool if someone else found other webcam links to post here. but be careful, this can be quite addictive ;-) )

enjoy

btw, for some livestream cameras you may need to download the realplayer, adobe flashplayer or windows media player. all are for free.

HOLLAND

- southwest to Utrecht

Excavation of a Roman shipwreck: http://www.archeos.nl/romeinsschip/
the Webcam is now defunct, but there are two videos to be watched showing the entire excavation in fast motion (note, the video need some time to load). dont know if the cams will come back, its all in dutch. may be one of our dutch friends can tell us more about it.

The ship was discovered in 1997 and totally excavated in 2003 and seems to be transferred to Lelystad in summer of 2003. So I guess there's nothing to see anymore and the cams have gone and wouldn't return.

In total the website seems not being updated after March 2004.
