Mons Claudianus

Mons Claudianus was a Roman quarry in the eastern desert of Egypt. It consisted of a garrison, a quarrying site, and civilian and workers' quarters. Granodiorite was mined for the Roman Empire where it was used as a building material. Mons Claudianus is located in the mountains of the Egyptian Eastern desert about midway between the Red Sea and Qena, in the present day Red Sea Governorate.
Today tourists can see fragments of granite, with several artifacts such as a broken column. A number of texts written on broken pottery (ostraca) have been discovered at the site.
==Discovery and location==
Mons Claudianus lies in the Eastern desert of upper Egypt, and was discovered in 1823 by Wilkinson and Burton.〔Herz, Norman.Waelkens, Marc. ''Classical marble:geochemistry, technology, trade''.Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1988, p. 97.〕 It lies north of Luxor, between the Egyptian town of Qena on the Nile and Hurghada on the Red Sea, 500 km south of Cairo and 120 km east of the Nile, at an altitude of c.700m in the heart of the Red Sea mountains.〔Van der Veen, Marijke. ''High living in Rome's distant quarries''. British Archaeology, 1997.〕〔Van der Veen, Marijke.Hamilton-Dyer, S. ''A life of luxury in the desert? Food and fodder supply to Mons Claudianus'' Journal of Roman Archaeology volume II, 1998, p.(101-116)〕 About 50 km away is another imperial stone quarry known as Mons Porphyrites,which is the world's only known source of purple porphyry.〔Van der Veen, Marijke. ''High living in Rome's distant quarries''. British Archaeology, 1997.〕
