Valetiae

Valetiae
From the server Respublica
Sometimes referred to as "Valetta" where an incorrect spelling of the modern Maltese capital just stuck, this city is the fictional capital of the ancient Roman isle. It was built by drawing on many historical designs and cities in the the surrounding area and originally was going to be in the position of the modern day city of Valletta. Issues with MrFinder building a palace complex and the availability of the land eventually led to its construction on a bay to the south of the original site.
It was constructed primarily by Daruskiy, XDlillexD, Victor_zomg, Prometheus and Rad with some additional help from others. It featured a forum and basilica based on Trajan's and a large circus and aqueduct. In typical "Romecraft" fashion a series of secret tunnels and entrances riddled the city being depicted by an emblem similar to the thieves guild from Skyrim. It housed the forts for both the local Classis and Legion forces along with the many powerful families of the server.
It is widely considered to be the most impressive city build the community has produced, but it sometimes disqualified from such a category due to being purely staff and developer constructed. It was created in the custom Respublica pack on a map of Malta and Gozo created by Leondonis. Leo also created a series of renders of the city and the rest of the map which can be found below with some albums of in game screenshots.
