Thanks for posting that map. It reminds me of the defect weblink in my very first post in this topic. It does not work since (probably) the last symbol is missing.
Please webmaster could you fix this? Thanks a lot.

So now you must have seen the countless maps reconstructing the siege, drawn as early as the 1870's. Did you notice old maps show no southern Melqart island at all, while later maps show it but without walls, while the latest reconstructions (the one you post) show it completely walled. Also scholars disagree about the Egyptian harbour being inside or outside the citywalls.

Does this mean you support the Osprey illustration in my second post showing modern Greek walls with lots of ballista's, at least for the walls facing towards land and Alexanders mole?
I would like to hear your opinion about the Peter Dennis illustration concerning walls and towers.

These are said to be 28mm.
Does anybody know if there is any gastraphetes in our scale?
