GhostOfClayton 25 Report post Posted December 6, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ummidia quadratilla 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melvadius 4 Report post Posted December 6, 2012 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostOfClayton 25 Report post Posted December 6, 2012 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!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any clues Melvadius? Looks not a "city" in the Mediterranean to me. Somewhere at the Continent, north of the Alpes? Jeroen H de Lange, Amsterdam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melvadius 4 Report post Posted December 6, 2012 Definately north of the Alps and it was a fairly important Roman 'city' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klingan 2 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 I'm going to be bold enough to guess that this is somewhere in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auris Arrectibus 3 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Hard one! Found a picture at the internet from a different angle here. Must be Corinium Dobunnorum, nowadays Cirencester. Edited December 7, 2012 by Auris Arrectibus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostOfClayton 25 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingan 2 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
