Claudianus I

Egypt / al-Bahhr-al-Ahhmar / Safaga /
 camp, archeological site
One of the two main camps out of roman times where the workers and the administrative people lived. Obviously it was the center of the southern quarries area and it was supplied with water by a aqueduct from Bir Mitgal, some 1.6 km away. At least the house of the commander was quite comfortable with an indoor pool.
