Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Does anyone know of an ancient place called Southwater? I heard it was a large farm that burned down, and I guess it affected a lot of people. I did a skim for links but didn't find anything.

Pertinax Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hmm, I have a Southwick reference for you (West Sussex): http://www.romansinsussex.co.uk/level3/sea...p?sitenumber=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 What modern country is Southwick located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Heaven forfend, I forgot to say, the UK. This area was notable for proximity to the important iron smelting areas of the Weald. Do you have any more clues regarding the " southwater" site you have in mind? Here we have South Shields (Arbeia) a very important supply port at the Eastern extremity of Hadrian's Wall (especially during the Severan campaigns). http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...cial_s%26sa%3DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) I know it probably would not be in Britain. It is somewhere very close to or in Italy. It was a farm. I had some limited info from a text file but it disappeared. I'm looking really hard for it.

miguel Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I search on wikipedia but also find Southwater is located in the south of UK. Information states that this place had been burned down, as you said about the place you want to know about. The earliest buildings in Southwater are Medieval in date, although the origins of the village may go further back. until c.1914, when it burned down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Thanks for the try but that's not it. It was an ancient villa/farm of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 If that is the place where an allegedly murdered person was found, then somewhere on this site (Viggens archaeological posts?) there is a link to an article about it.

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Ok, Southwater was a historical event in Rome: Total War. I remember reading the little caption, but cannot find it in the text files. All I could find was this. } disaster Southwater { type fire year 0 position 272 227 size 30 } There is also a battle map named Southwater and it clearly is a farm.

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Exactly, that's why I'm asking anyone if they know! I've also adopted your conclusion. This thread wants to be put in the tartarus. Edited August 29, 2006 by Antiochus of Seleucia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
