?

[Lupaie]

Nope, not correct. Let me help you on the first one. It is in Rome.

[Nollog]

Oh, so you meant Neptune then.
Every religion had a different name and whatnot for God of the sea/water.
It's pretty obvious now

[Lupaie]

Almost....Neptune/Poseidon/Triton plays a role in unsloving the mystery. It is not the solution

Shall I give the solution?

No, it's the Colosseum.


But I don't like making "riddles".

[Lupaie]

You're close, but wrong. Look at the first bit of the riddle too. 'Where three roads meet" ...and where fits Triton in this?

Wrong indeed, but add lots of water to the riddle

[Xiombarg]

Well, I decided to look at a map and saw the three rivers meet at Lake Prespa. Don't know if that is it, but...

No, let me sum up all clues:

- it is in Rome
- where 3 roads meet, at a crossroad
- features something to do with Poseidon/triton
- uses water
- there is actually a gamerelated fact about this place
- something with fighting tournament

the Trevi fountains are baroque, not Roman

If the solution is not given today..I'll do it. 17.00 o'clock West European Time

Okay, here we go. The anwser is:


The Trevi Fountain in Rome.
http://nl.m.wikipedi...i/Trevifontein#

Three Roads hint
The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie)[2] marks the terminal point[3] of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome.

Watergod hint
Taming of the waters is the theme of the gigantic scheme that tumbles forward, mixing water and rockwork, and filling the small square. Tritons guide Oceanus' shell chariot, taming hippocamps.

Place of Big Fighting Tournaments
This one pointed to Rome in general but there is more to it: next point

Game related
The Trevifountain is featured as a stage in Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Well there you have it. What do you guys think, was it too hard? Or not put well together? Is there anyone who wants to try next?

I just see that you got it. I never said it was Roman, said it was in Rome.
