Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm going to give everyone a few days to take a look at it before I try, it would be nice if some other people wanted to play the game as well. Believe me I do want to play but the only thing stopping me is that I'm totally crap at it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladict Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Believe me I do want to play but the only thing stopping me is that I'm totally crap at it!! No matter, because that's where the hints come in. The towers of the gate are named after a Roman poet who was born in the region, if not in the town.

Klingan Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm going to give everyone a few days to take a look at it before I try, it would be nice if some other people wanted to play the game as well. Believe me I do want to play but the only thing stopping me is that I'm totally crap at it!! A hint is to take a look at the building and the surroundings. Think a little about where the nature could be from and take a moment to recall what major towns you know in that area and google for those. Unless that works take a look at wikipedia for large Roman settlements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hmmm... well, the nature could be anywhere from Northern Spain, through Italy to the Balkans. Or is this a cryptic clue? Lucretius wrote 'De rerum natura' - on the nature of things, whilst Virgil wrote about nature in the Georgics... Am I getting closer?

The poet in question does indeed write about the region, though lamentably not about the property pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
