Could the port have been on the river? Rather than a sea port?

There's Newport in Shropshire too, but the river clogged up (can't remember when, but relatively recently).

I read today that archaeologists have just discovered a roman emperor's house at the site of an old roman port near Rome.

Today that port is by the airport, two miles inland. Sea levels must have changed significantly over the past 2000 years or so.

You don't need to go back 2000 years. Coastlines are always changing.

It was man made global warming from the fumes from all those Christian they burnt. Or sumfink like that.

[shaunbhoy]

Why does everybody jump to the "It must be man made global warming" conclusion? Drugs, inbreeding, using the Guardian as a reference text?

All of the above

Thanks for the laugh.

You've been saying? You seem to think you're some sort of Nobel prize intellect rather than than some Swindon Saddo.
And the only "models" you'd be familiar with would be found on page 3 of the Sun.

I trust DimPrawn completely. He didn't become a millionaire by not knowing stuff.

I've been saying since day one that the man made climate change mantra is utter bollox from a scienctific basis.

The models that underpin the "science" are laughable.

Looking at google maps, the port the ampitheatre was built on is on the mouth of the river Tiber and consequently the area is prone to lots of silting

I think we can safely assume that the shoreline has moved out into the sea due to river deposits

Even if sea levels have risen, what's to suggest that's man-made?

Why are the two issues persistently conflated?

Because you can't tax acts of God but you can tax men( and women, Stan)!

They probably fell to expose the land between the building and sea

OR ALTERNATIVELY the cost line has changed over time; some of it gets eroded and deposited elsewhere. Other possibilities the land is rising; the southern part of Britain is still sinking as a result of the fact that there isn't any ice sheets sat on top of north Europe anymore.

I wondered that, but it says the port was twice as big as Southampton, and the map doesn't show it on the river.

BTW it was an amphitheatre they discovered, rather than just a house.

you could post a link to the article

Or would that suggest that global warming isn't happening and your hypothesis is false?
