Quiz
This is surprising, I did not think this puzzle would be difficult. Perhaps this variant of the photo (practically a giveaway) will help?

Well, historically they were not in Budapest but in Aquincum. Now they are located under a highway overpass near the remains of the South gate (porta principalis dextra).

Over to you, Miha.

You are right. At that moment I really didn't think about the historical background. :whistle:

As Jona said of a previous photo ...

Jona's quiz has certainly uncovered some fascinating sites from everyone's photo collection.

It certinly has and that's another lovely photograph. Makes me realise how insular (literally!) my knowledge of the Roman period can be.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Yes, that seems to be Mike himself.

Hmmm, you are looking for a Roman town, try to guess the region and then I will point you in the right direction. Few hundred meters away is a town with almost the same name.
