  1. It would not help you either. Let's say the land of this church is not known for it's christianity anymore.
  2. You are much to far to the north with such a suggestion... We are closer to the Mediterranean sea and under a much sunier sky.
  3. And no Greece is not your destination this time
  4. You are right as this is indeed a catholic church in a neo-byzantine architecture. Yet all the areas you mentionned up until now are wrong... Let's just add a clue : the church's patron saint is a famous man who lived in the roman city shown in the picture...
  5. So, a day and no suggestions yet ?
  6. Well the site is part of my morning routine so it was not intentionnal to answer so quicly... the music was easy to identify, then Google gave me a Wikipedia article for "Rammstein amphitheater"... Here is something that will hopefully take longer to identify...
  7. Nimes amphitheater for a concert of german group Rammstein, July 2005
  8. Hello, I was at a roman army re-enactment fair this afternoon at Aubechies (Belgium) and brought back some pictures and movies which I've decided to share with the UNRV crew : picture : https://picasaweb.google.com/bryaxis/Aubechies24Avril2011?feat=directlink movies : - 1 : - 2 : - 3 : - 4 : - 5 : Enjoy !
  9. Yes it is indeed the roman remains of Budapest
  10. It is indeed in a Provincia to which the Danube is no foreigner
  11. So no proposal yet for this picture ?
  12. well I was lucky to connect to the forum at the right time then, for I saw the new post with the board search function, looked three or four google request (first thought was Tarragona) then typed the answer here... but this puts me to the challenge of finding a new roman edifice... which I think has been solved with the following picture :
  13. And we have a winner in Noricum, it is indeed the temple of Augustus and Livia in Vienne, Rhone Valley, France (a bit to the south of Lyon), a city whose homophony with the french name of the Austrian capital Vienna might well have led our friend Melvadius on a wrong track... Edit : to load a picture go to full post edition mode, under the writing section you'll find an "attachements" section : you select your file, you click on "attach file", you tick the "add file to post" box on the next screen, confirm everything and are all set !
  14. No it is not the temple that opened this game so long ago...
  15. No problem Ummidia Quadratila, especially since I still won Now let's go for an easy one for a change :
  16. I'd even go further and say it's Mesa Vouno, on Santorin island.
  17. Thera then, aka Santorin, the site of the famous volcano who gave us a minoan pompei ?
  18. Please do also remember that homosexuality was not seen as such by the ancient romans, what mattered being who was "active" and who was "passive" during the relationship. As far as legionary discipline on the topic is concerned, don't we have the story of a junior officer in Marius' army who was sentenced to death because homosexual relationship in the legion was forbidden, especially with a subordinate ?
  19. then it's a very, very similar placeto Lixus !
  20. Sparta or even more so Thebe dare I say
  21. Strange it comes at a time when tunisian migrants are flooding the italian coast, those "pesky non-UE muslims who dare try getting a better life in Europe when we have so many troubles" (as shown by the Irish, Portuguese and Greek budgetary crisis). After all the only thing those migrants are good for is providing young flesh to Berlusconi's "bonga bonga" intimate parties, as shown by the marrocan girl Ruby... While Berlusconi and friends can't blame allies and friends like the other members of the UE (especially with their own budget issues which might make them fall too), they've found an easy target in those former colonies which were much better behaved at the time of Il Duce Mussolini and are now revolting and where people fleeing their own countries... A quick research on the web shows the close links of Mattei with the catholic church (he received medals from the Vatican for his defense of hardcore christinism) and Gianfranco Fini, leader of a far right political party : Mattei has been described as "the eminance grise" of Fini, who began his carreer as chairman of the MSI youths, the MSI being the direct heir to Mussolini's party. This line of thought on homosexuality and carthage might very well stem from a corrupted memory of the senate's accusations against Scipio Africanus while he was in Sicily, planning to land in Africa... the link with the current situation being Carthage.
  22. would they be the remains at Kerkouane ?
