  1. It's great time to bring a little life in this topic:

    Here's the palatial complex and mycenaean city of Pylos, during the time of the mythical king Nestor:

  2. @Lion.Kanzen Sorry pal, my mother tongue is french, and we say "art roman", that's why I've written "roman style" without further check... ;) 

    @Nescio I don't think there's any existing pure example of carolingian architectural style nowadays, so it's a start...

    There's also these:

    Baptistère Saint-Jean de Poitiers: built around 360 A.D, and baptismal tank added around 6th century. The frescoes are from the 12th century though. The building has not changed much through centuries:

    Notre-Dame-La-Grande de Poitiers:

    The construction of this one started in XIth century, and was finished in XVIth century, but it's still a remarkable example of a romanesque style church:

  3. Thank you, Sundiata :). These illustrations come from a book belonging to a serie called "les Voyages d'Alix",written in french unfortunately, more specifically from the volume about the incas, where they also show the previous civilizations.  The drawings of this serie are really good. You should see the reconstructions of Delphi, during the time of classical Greece, or Rome during the first century A.D. The books are available on amazon, but I don't think they're available in english...
