I retouched the original suggestion and replaced that Temple of Artemis Lite with something I found in a coin depicting the building. I think they are all recogniseable enough, but a poll sounds good.

I like the #26 pic because it shows where in the world they are located.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

[up][up] Good job improving my original suggestion. Thanks!

I'd be fine with either Catalogue's version of the map I originally proposed or the second version of the collage I posted, though the first one has the advantage of showing where the things are for people that aren't familiar with Classical geography.

[up][up][up] Heh, I'd like the caption to point out how it was rather provincial of Antipater. *

[up][up] Sounds good, Boss.

[up] The reason why I prefer your original suggestion is because showing the wonders in details would be a bit risky; many paintings, engravings, etc. are a bit too fanciful. This is why we have the thread in the first place.

Digression: This guy has been here for how long, exactly? Did he come along with the recent crowner recolouring, etc.? Surprised me the first time I saw it.

[up] Yeah, Eddie unearthed him and put him to work when the crowner tech got overhauled.

I'm not a big fan of the current "bigger in person" because all but one aren't around anymore.

I just switched the picture and left the note saying it was picked by an image picking thread.

I put in Arcades Sabboth's caption suggestion. Is everyone okay with that or do we have any better ideas?
