Guess the ancient city!

No it's not Aphrodisias but you are very close. I'm amazed that you can tell the landscape looks Turkish from that picture.

 

Well, that's after discarding a lot of other options because of the building I'm unfamiliar with and the river.

I think I'll have to guess either Hierapolis or Miletus. Since you said it was very close I'm going with Hierapolis.

 

edit: missed your last post. Switching to Miletus :ph34r:

Yikes - tough one!

 

Some intersting relief work on that arch, and some text, but not distinct enough to make out.

 

The road signs suggest Europe, but not the UK, so I'll guess mainland Italy as a start.

So it was fake...I was wondering about that. Do you have any proper references? Everything on the net is sort of sketchy. Anyway, it was completely unknown to me but the special iconography caught my interest so I looked it up on the net.

I hope that this should be sort of a challenge.

The remains of the real thing are in the museum, apparently. Oh well, I've been meaning to visit that part of Germany anyway.

 

Seems like west Germany would be worth a detour when I'm moving to Berlin.

Yes . . it sort of is. I'm going to rule out Britannia, or I would have seen it, so I'll say France.

Unfortunately not correct.

It looks like a current excavation and the tree line speaks to me of Europe so knowing some of the sites where you have worked how about somewhere in Italy? :unsure:

In that case with potentially insider knowledge I'll step back. :whistling:

Send me a pm, you're making me curious :P

 

Edit: and I'm not quite sure you're right.
