lady_p_gold Since the question is" by romans" wouldn't this make the answer plural, as in tiberians or have you miscounted the letters?

I went for Tiberias - see:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberias

but not sure why 'By Romans' unless Herod (who built it) was a Roman? I was going along the lines of 'ab' at first.

We thought it was dozy meaning careless, losing diamonds, so take the 'd' off, servant is a maid and then reported (said) back is dias and Ozymaidias is indeed an old king !!!

Geo - no it is eight letters having a think about that ... I was thinking it was 'by Romans river' but then strictly speaking it should have then been 'by Romans' river'.

oh sorry wideboy (just got up) I mean its 'man' meaning servant and then 'said' backwards - Ozymandias (maid was what I was pondering about earlier !) Rule One, always have a cup of coffee before you launch into Answerbank !!

Tiberias. The Tiber flows through Rome, so it is a river you will find 'by Romans'...ie 'by' means near/next to/alongside. The next element is the word 'is' which you split up - divert - and put on either side - around - of 'a', giving 'ias'. Link the two ideas for Tiberias, a Galilean city.

Thanks to all for their explanations.
