<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2771623, member: 87200&quot;]Very cool. When I was in Egypt last time I actually walked on the remnants of an old roman road that went from el-Ashmunein to Minya (central Egypt). I visited the temple of Thoth in el-Ashmunein (known in ancient times as Hermopolis Magna) and then headed north on the road. Went past a very cool late roman/byzantine fortress at a bend in the Nile. It was used as a toll collecting place for ships going up and down the river. Now it is surrounded by mud-brick houses belonging to the local farmers. When they saw me walking down the old road some of the villagers came out of their homes with tea, very refreshing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
