Maladict Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) 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.

ummidia quadratilla Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Good switch - it is Miletus. Over to you, Maladict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfClayton Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladict Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Mainz? Spot on. Did you know it or google it? It's a fake, but I'd never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingan Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 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.

Oh well, I've been meaning to visit that part of Germany anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfClayton Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I hope that this should be sort of a challenge. Yes . . it sort of is. I'm going to rule out Britannia, or I would have seen it, so I'll say France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvadius Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingan Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Italy indeed, but it's a large country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 In that case with potentially insider knowledge I'll step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
