Milecastle 38?

 

Bloody hell, that is just unfair :P

Yikes! I thought it would go on for a couple of days at least. Well done, Melvadius. It was indeed Milecastle 38, as can be deduced by the presence of the distinctive lake

Great to see this game running again. Since all the excitement happened while I was asleep (I live in Pacific Standard Time), I can at least provide the name for Milecastle 38 (at least the one on in the HW guidebook and map) - Hotbank.

 

Looking forward to playing again.

oops in the correct place this time,

 

I'm glad you were asleep since it took me a while to track down the milecastle name - for some reason it isn't on Wikipedia Ghost - I thought you were including that on your updating? ;)

 

 

Anyway and the next contender is...

Well done Ummidia Quadratilla, it is Hotbank Milecastle. Also, you're quite right, Melvadius, I've only got as far as 35 or 36. I had to stop when Spring came along and took me far away from my research materials. I haven't really got back into it since my return.

 

I know this one, so I'll hang back (especially since my last success was a wild, wild guess!)

Any clues Melvadius?

Looks not a "city" in the Mediterranean to me.

Somewhere at the Continent, north of the Alpes?

Definately north of the Alps and it was a fairly important Roman 'city' :)

Nope and not Gaulish.

I'm going to be bold enough to guess that this is somewhere in the UK.

Found a picture at the internet from a different angle here.

 

Looking at that website, it's probably worth pointing out to overseas readers (and many in Great Britain, no doubt) that Cirencester is neither in Devon nor Cornwall. It was in Gloucestershire last time I looked.

I really need to visit the sites in the UK (or well, the UK in general) some day, I am completely lost when it comes to what you lads have over there....
