The remains of a Roman city in the Atlas Plateau in northeastern Algeria. It is a colonial city built by the Roman Emperor Trajan around 100 AD and is said to have been designed by the imperial army. Roads run in a grid pattern from east to west, north to south, colonnades line the main streets, and at the western end stands the Arch of Trajan, built in the 2nd or 3rd century. Temples, theaters, libraries, meeting halls, baths, and more remain almost perfectly intact. A grand, well-planned city, it is also known as the "Pompeii of North Africa." It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1982. Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
