Pelusium

These are the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Pelusium. This site is not listed in the tour guides, but I was able to tag along on my roommate's class trip. We were joined by armed guards.

This is believed to be part of the ancient irrigation system Pottery littered the ground At times it was impossible not to step on it This opening leads into an area that was used to store water Part of the city's walls My roommate,Sharon, standing on top of an ancient wall gazing into the past This might have been part of the city's gate I don't know what this was Capitals of different styles were scattered around the site Ruins of a Byzantine church A modern city can be seen in the background Tomb where a Saint's body was discovered Baptisim font The church sanctury-this area has been rebuilt The gray disk was probably a mill stone
