Welcome
to Roman Egypt
At the moment
mainly Mons Claudianus.
These images
of Mons have come from two visits. Initially in 1986 when Lesley and I
were working in Egypt. More recently a visit in 1998 on our return journey
from Pakistan to England. (Click here for that story)
Mons, fortunately
benefits from being off the beaten track and having bery few items that
are worth taking - apart from a broken 40 ton pillar!
Whatever, as
with all sites of this nature it is in constant decline, mostly from the
elements but potentially suffers every time it is visited - if you do
have the priviledge of going, leave it as you found it..
