Quote:Carnuntum, Heidentor, i think.Indeed. It was an easy one. The Heidentor ("the gate of the pagans") as they called it in the Middle Ages, is probably an honorific arch for Constantius II. Over to you, dear Christian, over to Augsburg.

It's an olive press?
Where though...

Quote:What and where is this?I think it's the wine-press in the villa at Mas de Tourelles, in the Languedoc region of France. (It let me log in this time!  )

Exactly, Duncan!
Here´s the website :-) http://www.tourelles.com Excellent wines with interesting flavors. ![[Image: smilie_trink_006.gif]](http://1.1.1.5/bmi/www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Trinken/smilie_trink_006.gif) Over to you :-)

This is likely to be another quick-fire round! What is this? (Bonus if you know where it was found.)

Quote:Top part of a cornucopia, Corbridge?Correct, and correct. (With traces of original paint.) Over to you, Alexander.

Please name the location. A bonus, if you can translate the inscription

I have no idea, but it is beautiful.

The inscription appears to read:
(Galerius?) Val(erius) Maxim(ianus)... Invictis Aug(ustis) Mountains look like Antiochia Pisidia... ? EDIT - if the location's right, it could be inscription AE 1967, 00495: Dd(ominis) nn(ostris) Gal(erio) Val(erio) Maximiano et Gal(erio) Val(erio) Maximino et Fl(avio) Val(erio) Const]antino et Val(erio) Licinniano Licinnio / Invictis Auggustis Val(erius) Diogenes v(ir) p(erfectissimus) praes(es) provinc(iae) devotus numini maiestatique eorum Which is more or less, I think: Our Lords Galerius Valerius Maximianus [ie Galerius] and Galerius Valerius Maximinus [ie Maximinus Daia] and Flavius Valerius Constantinus [Constantine]and Valerius Licinianus Licinius [Licinius] the Unconquered Emperors, Valerius Diogenes the perfect man, president of the province, devoted to their spirit and majesty [set this up]...

Quote:The location is correct  mile: That was actually a wild guess, at least at first!So - I didn't actually take this picture myself (needless to say!), but it's interesting, I think... Where is it, and what (supposedly) did it use to be? [attachment=5625]Untitled_2012-10-29.jpg[/attachment]
