What is this and where would you find it.

It's the Millenium Scultpure, set on the Meridian line in London.

Correct, Johanna. Yours is the challenge.

What is this, what is it called and where can you find it?

It's Carhenge, near Alliance, Nebraska. It's a replica of Stonehenge, built using cars instead of stones

That was quick! Of course it's right. Back to you.

What is this and where is it located.

 

[J. A.]

It's BETASOM, a submarine base, established during WW II, at Bordeaux, France.

Correct Johanna. The sign I blurred out was a direct giveaway, here's the original.

Yours is the challenge.

 

[J. A.]

Thank you, Robert! I can't monitor a challenge for the next hours. It's opened to anyone.

I'm asking for the name and location of this site. When was it mentioned for the first time, and what is it?

Wikipedia

 

[J. A.]

A known Roman Emperor resided here for a few years.

Here's a different view, also from Wikipedia:

This photo wasn't taken recently. The area looks different now.

It's the partially rebuilt ruins of the house of Lucius at the Legionary camp at Carnutum in present day Austria. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnuntum

Marcus Aurelius resided here for three years in 172-175 A.D.

 

[J. A.]

That's it. I already thought that no one can find it, when I know the location.

One question isn't answered yet: when was it mentioned for the first time? It's there in the link...

 

[scifan57]

The first mention of Carnutum occurred during the reign of Augustus in 6 A.D.
