Munich is correct, but not the Glyptothek.

Solution: The relief is from the fifth century, it was found in Deir Abu Hennis in Egypt, and it is in the Egyptian Museum in Munich.

[Flavivs Aetivs]

It's either a Roman Road or Port, maybe a lauching ramp for ships.

Looks like a Roman fish-pen (piscina), but I only know the ones in Italy. Is it at Nice?
