Maladict Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) No. Rather mysterious, isn't it? Edited July 21, 2011 by Maladict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auris Arrectibus Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Mysterious..... Let's recap all the guesses and answers to eliminate or to point in the right direction. It is: - a coastal town - same continent as Italy: Europe. It's not: - east of the line Bosphorus-Nile Delta. - Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Cyprus, West-Bank or North Africa - at an island And: - not likely to be in the nothern part of europe by the look of the picture (assumption) So: - somewhere in Greece, the Ioninan coast of Turkey, at the Adriatic opposite coast of Italy (not croatia) or coastal area of the black sea. To narrow that a bit down: Is the city located somewhere along the Via Egnatia? Jeroen H de Lange, Amsterdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not on the Egnatia, it hardly touches the coast anyway. It was destroyed during the Persian invasion. What you see in the picture are mostly parts rebuilt, expanded and embellished by the Romans. Many more refineries were added later, but they're not in the picture.

So I focus on the Ionian coast, a city that is coastal but doesn't have a harbor (anymore). Destroyed by Persians.....rebuilt by Romans: Miletus?

Maladict Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 No I meant the Egnatia hardly touches the coast. The city definitely has a harbour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auris Arrectibus Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 No. Rather mysterious, isn't it? Ah, I've got it: Eleusis. Jeroen H de Lange, Amsterdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yes, well done. 'Mysterious' was indeed a clue, as was Many more refineries were added later, but they're not in the picture. It's not the prettiest stretch of Greek coast unfortunately. You're up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auris Arrectibus Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) It was a nice quest for a rainy day in Holland........ Here's a new one: Who adds the first guess? Game on!

GhostOfClayton Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think I may know this one. If it isn't Glanum (near St Remy de Provence), then it looks an awful lot like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again a fast one, just like my previous entry. You are right, it's Glanum, a celtic oppidum from 6th-c BC. Greek influence because of trades with colony Massalia (Marseiile).

Auris Arrectibus Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Too hard for me GOC! Looks like Ostia Antica.......no.......that's not it. Paestum? Next to the three temples? Jeroen H de Lange, Amsterdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 It is neither Ostia Antica, nor Paestum. You are on the right continent, but the wrong country. Sounds like you need to narrow it down. Clue 1: It's part of a nice place. Clue 2 to follow when you get a little more desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 GoH that wasn't nice but the clue is a bit obvious since it looks like you have been to the Archeological Museum of Nice-Cimiez which is located on the outskirts of the ancient city of Cemenelum (Cimiez).
