Maladict Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Impressive remains, as the size of the house next to it shows ! Never been there yet, but I hope I'll be able to do it in a not too distant future That looks a bit like the Porta Rosa in Velia but I don't remember the structures in front of it.

Bryaxis Hecatee Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Damn I thought it would live a bit longer it is the porta rosa of Velia, unfortunately the area was off limits when I went there last april so I could'nt see it with my own eyes... Your turn ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your turn ! It was already off limits when I visited in 2004, but you could still get up to the point where this picture was taken. I'm too busy for the next few days, whoever wishes to can post the next picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viggen Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 ..ok marcus silanus, i think we waited now long enough and deserve a hint! ;-) cheers viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 He's just playing hard to get. Thanks for moving this thread, it increased my post count by 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 If Marcus doesn't reply (he hasn't posted since February 2010), there's still my competition over on this thread, with a prize to the winner. Only one rule - you're not allowed to enter if you're Melvadius. This isn't a personal prejudice I have against him, I just happen to know he saw the programme! (sorry Melvadius!).

Melvadius Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Unfair, I didn't see that much of it but anyone with half an eye should know where that photo was taken - hint it looks like the tallest piece of freestanding Roman wall left in the country. Do I get the prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 On reflection, you're clearly a man of great integrity, Melvadius, so if you tell me you would've known in advance of seeing it on the telly, I shall believe you, and the prize will be yours. I can't say fairer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Whyere that site is concerned, I cannot tell a lie. The number of times I have seen images of the basilica wall from Wroxeter (not to forget the couple of times) I have stood under the gap in the mwall myself have combined to burn it into my memory.

marcus silanus Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 ..ok marcus silanus, i think we waited now long enough and deserve a hint! ;-) cheers viggen Thanks for the message and at some point I will explain my absence. However I will say that I am determined to get stuck in again having greatly missed the intellectual "tennis" and daily betterment of my appreciation of the subject. Slight problem that I have on this post is that I am struggling to remember myself. My face has gone rather red over this so I'm going to spend some time later on after the daily toils and I'll come up with a hint. Fingers crossed!!

Then the prize is yours, Melvadius - I'll PM you when I can think of what it is. In the mean time, to get this thread moving again, and with Marcus Silanus' permission, I think it's only proper for you to have the honour of providing the next image.

I knew that I had used an image from England or Wales, but couldn't be sure from where exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well to give people something to be working on until Marcus Silanus can track down his 'hints' you can try this one. [Edit] Sorry folks I seem to have accidently loaded an internal view with little evidence for the location rather than the external one I had meant to include, hopefully this corrected image will give you a few more hints to the location.
