Which Man deemed old two thousand years ago.
Match me such marvel save in Eastern clime,
A rose-red city half as old as time.


H G Wells, writing 77 years later, seems to have matched such a marvel :-) Wonderful indeed it is, a vast circumvallation that was already two thousand years old before the dawn of British history...
