Alexander's only current plan for the central district was a stadium, built almost as a carbon copy of the Roman Colosseum.
But the site was still just in the 'laying foundation' stage, so Alexander only observed the bustle of workers digging the grounds and piling in pillars from afar, before moving on to the southern district.
As the part of the city overlooking the sea, a majority of the people's livelihood here depended on the docks, which were as usual full of ships.
All around these wooden vessels, workers with their muddy and dirty hands and feet toiled tirelessly under the scorching summer sun to move cargo to and fro- either using hands, by cranes, or horse drawn carts.
Many of these goods were moved to warehouses for later distribution to the various cities by land, while at other times, they were loaded directly onto carts and driven out of the city through the many small and large gates.
