Did you notice that fantastic late Roman fortifications near the Museum?
I haven't been at Alexandria, sorry!

Great stuff huh. The late Roman engineering is just amazing.
The SCA is kinda ham-fisted when doing reconstructions, so a lot of this is new cladding, but still cool.
And here is the Justinianic fortifications from St. Catherine's.
