Very happily my hometown of Cambodunum is there, feeling strangishly proud. Sadly in 125AD we we're no longer a capital of Raetia, lost that to Augusta Vindelicorum.
- susi22 9y agoThat's some coincidence. I'm from about 20 min south of there (Im.). I was surprised to see KE on there.
- _Codemonkeyism 9y agoMeeting on HN :-) Hi! I once had a girlfriend in Sonthofen.
- distances 9y ago20 minutes by foot or horse?
- ponyous 9y agoI feel strangely proud as well. My city never appears on HN, but Poetovio appears on here and it has only 20K people nowadays. In the Roman times, it had an estimated 40k population and it was a military camp IIRC.
- bhaak 9y agoMy hometown of Curia is there as well. Although, doesn't make me especially proud, it has been an uninterrupted population history that starts way before the Romans. :-) Not much of Roman ruins to see nowadays unfortunately.
- aquadrop 9y agoI just recently visited ruins of Tanais (most north-east town on this map) and it was also nice to find it here :) Feeling all that historical connection...
