    Default Roman village found with Google Earth

    Unsure where to post this, but Frontroom seemed most likely:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4267238.stm

    Some Italian programmer used Google Earth to see his own hometown and ended up finding a Roman village.

    Wow. Far out.

    Google Earth isn't just the (suprisingly entertaining) waste of time that I thought it was.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    Wow.

    Impressive. I now realize that Google Earth is not a waste of time. Who knows, I also might find some Dacian settlements.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
