Melvadius Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Bactres, one of the cities of Alexander the Great in Afghanistan ? Well done! How could you tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryaxis Hecatee Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
