Melvadius 4 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 If it's not Roman then I am totally at sea. The only thing it reminds me of is one of the mud-brick sections of the Great Wall of China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryaxis Hecatee 16 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 Well I remembered that some of Alexander cities have walls rather well kept. Looking at the vegetation I saw a kind of land and agriculture that seemed rather Syrian or Afghan. From there I did some google research on cities of Alexander in Afghanistan, hellenistic cities, and such keywords with no results. Then I googled a map of Alexander's Empire to get a handfull of city names, looked at those, remembered Bactres as one of those still having walls, googled Bactres and found it. So, as for a picture now, let's get back to some more roman place... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful little place, six or seven Roman gates that I wouldn't all have recognized, but this one is the first you see coming off the train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
