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

Great pictures, thanks. It looks like the 'Temple of Romulus' open as well?
Iirc you could only peer into it from inside the church.

Ionian building, a river, landscape looks Turkish....Aphrodisias?
-
It's a fragile part of the hill, I wouldn't be surprised if it was closed. Not many tourists would go there anyway.
Your best bet is to contact the Soprintendenza: http://archeoroma.beniculturali.it/en
Enjoy your trip, and if you do get in, post some pictures

I'm back from a highly enjoyable trip to northern England.
The weather was fairly atrocious which dampened the walking bits unfortunately, still got two solid days of walking in though (Chesters to near Roman Army Museum, roughly).
Chesters, Housesteads and Vindolanda are great sites, the museum at Vindolanda is outstanding. Not too impressed by the Great North museum, but that might be due to the seemingly endless amount of screaming children. Corbridge, Arbeia and Segedunum were complete washouts but interesting enough.
Interesting experience when spending some time with the wall, when you first encounter it it looks really impressive in its bulk and apparent indifference to the terrain. After a while, though, I thought it looked increasingly vulnerable and insignificant, a thin ribbon crossing a vast landscape. Still impressive in its length and construction, but not at all daunting or forbidding.
Non-Roman bonuses: the crypt under Hexham Abbey, Bede's church in Jarrow, the splendour of Durham cathedral, a melancholy day at Lindisfarne and seeing the Red Arrows do their magic over Whitby Abbey. Only to learn that one of them died yesterday.

Sure, here are some more. That'll be

Just a test to see if you're really serious. You might want to reconsider.

Sure, so I take it you guys aren't aware of the arguments against the overland route existing? I'll have to read up on it again, but I heard something along the lines that there's no evidence for the red routes on the map above used for trading between Europe and China.
I would like to see those arguments.
-
Also, merchants would generally only travel parts of the overland route. Hence, only products and hearsay would travel from China to Rome and back.
The famous "ambassadors" of Antoninus Pius seem to have been the exceptions to the rule. If they traveled overland, that is.

Dozens of pictures of the pantheon in my collection, and only one that shows the area above the doorway.
Well, better than nothing, I guess.

That's hilarious, especially the tattoos.

South America doesn't have a draw. The rest did, but they're not very interesting.
-
A: Croatia; Serbia; Belgium; Scotland; Macedonia; Wales
Croatia should win this one, but I wouldn't put my money on it. And all of the others have a decent shot at second place really. Interesting group.
B: Italy; Denmark; Czech; Bulgaria; Armenia; Malta
Italy wins, Czechs or Danish get second place.
C: Germany; Sweden; Irelan; Austria; Faroe Is.; Kazekstan
Germany first, Sweden second. sorry Viggen
D: Holland; Turkey; Hungary; Romania: Estonia; Andora
Holland wins, Turkey should get second but Hungary or Romania could sneak in there.
E: Norway: Slovenia: Switzerland; Albania; Cyprus; Iceland
Odd group. Two out of Norway, Slovenia and Switzerland advance.
F: Portugal; Russia; Israel; N. Ireland; Arzebajan; Luxembourg
Portugal wins, Russia gets second if they don't utterly mess up again.
G: Greece; Slovakia; Bosnia/Herz; Lithuania; Latvia; Liechtenstein
Slovakia first, Greece second.
H: England; Montenegro; Ukraine; Poland; Moldovia; San Marino
England wins, Montenegro or Ukraine for second place.
I: Spain; France; Belarus; Georgia; Finland.
Spain first, France second. Shouldn't really be the group of death it's made out to be.

Roman helmet, like the one we use here.

Sure, because some Renaissance-era painting with no verifiable scientific accuracy whatsoever mentions some obscure place, it must have a name. Nice logic you got going there
I'm going to take a guess and say it's called 'ancient Italy'. A unique name for a unique map.
-
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!

Unfortunately the above map may still be incomplete as it's missing a number of colonies shown in the other maps. Also, all the above sources are missing Forum Alieni as well as other towns like Falerri Novi, so I guess we could be passing the 200 mark and getting closer to the 400?
Of course the maps don't show all settlements, they're not meant to be as they are maps of Roman colonies.
There are plenty of places missing. Forum Alieni obviously isn't on the map as nobody would know where to put it the first place.
-
It's the actual gallery, the walls have maps painted on them.
I'm not sure they have individual names, but iirc there's only one map of Roman Italy.
-
Does anyone have any info on this Roman town? Was it a proper Roman town?
It has been linked to Ferrara and other places in the delta, but I don't think any kind of proof has ever materialised.
The delta being what it is, that's not entirely surprising I guess.
-
Also, any ideas what this map is?
Other than that the answer is actually in the picture?
-
No I meant the Egnatia hardly touches the coast.
The city definitely has a harbour.
-
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.

No. Rather mysterious, isn't it?

Wow, that's great. Thanks for posting.
