Melvadius Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Interesting idea but still too far into the northern Empire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 OK . . . so . . nothing specific in the clue, just ruling out Britannia and the northern third of Germania Inferior. There seems to be a river in the background, and the boats (even though they are just a few pixels, and my eyesight isn't what it was) look like those boats they have on the Nile (are they called 'Junks'?) So - is it Egypt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Nothing like going from one extreme to another and if you can see boats in the image your eyesights a lot better than mine but no there aren't any and you can rule out Egypt.

GhostOfClayton Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Tough one. Going back to the Dover clue, no one else is going to say it, so I'll say "Is it in France?" I'll even chance my arm with something more specific - is the hill in the background Mont Auxois (Alesia) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Neither but you are getting a lot closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I was hoping someone else would get on board with this one, but it looks like I'm in it for the long haul. Spain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 In the right area at last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm hoping it's in the province of Baetica, as the Falco novel I'm currently reading is set there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfClayton Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ok . . that was a guess with my heart. My head would've said that there's more going on in Gallaecia. Are there just you and me doing this? or is someone else biding their time ready to pounce when i narrow it down sufficiently (a tactic I've employed once before, so it would be ironic if I were to be hoist by my own petard!)

Melvadius Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hopefully no 'foist' (returned unwillingly) 'petard' (hand grenade/bomb) for either of us this time but again I am sorry in this case Gallaecia in the north western corner of the Spainish peninsula was not important for this site's purpose.

GhostOfClayton Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Tarraconensis? (having played heart and head, I'm now playing the odds - Tarraconensis was the largest.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yes this site was eventually incorporated into Tarraconensis - getting closer:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Is it on the Via Augusta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
