Post by: Mysterious F. on August 16, 2006, 04:45:09 PM
Anyone ever here of the book series The Chronicles of Narnia? Well, the real Narnia was in Italy around the times Rome became a republic. (around 509 B.C.)

I wonder if whocares has a picture of the real narnia, so I could see wether it was a desert, or a forest type thing. Interesting subject.

If this website was educational, then the schools wouldn't have blocked it. (I put a curse on them!)

Yes, it is very fascinating. It was probably a coincidence, though, but a cool one at that! :)

Okay, I see there are some questions, here are the answers:

It existed over 2 thousand years ago, there are no pictures.

It was in Italy, so it probably was a forest region with small mountains.

It doesn't exsist anymore.

It was one of Rome's Latin colonies, which were founded in Italy to spread Roman culture. Citizens in Latin colonies only had several of the rights of the citizens of Rome, such as running for consul,  but they still had many rights.
