Timgad (called Thamugas or Thamugadi in old Berber) was a Roman colonial town in the Aurès Mountains of Algeria, founded by the Emperor Trajan around AD 100. The full name of the town was Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi. Trajan commemorated the city after his mother Marcia, eldest sister Ulpia Marciana, and father Marcus Ulpius Traianus.
Located in modern-day Algeria, about 35 km east of the town of Batna, the ruins are noteworthy for representing one of the best extant examples of the grid plan as used in Roman city planning.
The city was founded ex nihilo as a military colony by the emperor Trajan around AD 100. It was intended to serve primarily as a bastion against the Berbers in the nearby Aures Mountains. It was originally populated largely by Parthian veterans of the Roman army who were granted lands in return for years of service.
The city enjoyed a peaceful existence for the first several hundred years and became a center of Christian activity starting in the 3rd century, and a Donatist center in the 4th century.

Lorsqu’il foule le sol algérien, Jamel, archéologue français d’origine algérienne, vient pour effectuer des fouilles sur les sublimes ruines romaines du village de Timgad. Le passé s’offre à lui, et le présent lui tombe dessus lorsqu’il est propulsé entraineur de foot de l’équipe locale, « La Juventus de Timgad ». Des gamins qui jonglent avec un quotidien chiche, qui n’ont ni maillot ni chaussure, mais dribblent avec talent. Entre vestiges antiques et plaies des luttes récentes, Jamel découvre sur ce terrain les racines tortueuses et les jeunes pousses d’une Algérie qui se rêve réconciliée…et championne de foot.

Un Algérien de France s'adresse à un frère resté au pays pour raconter ce qu'est l'Algérie d'aujourd'hui, filmée depuis les airs par le célèbre photographe Yann Arthus Bertrand. Le documentaire est construit autour d'un voyage en trois parties. Le nord, moderniste, est tourné vers la Méditerranée, tandis que le centre est fait de régions rurales et traditionnelles. Enfin, le grand sud est comme un autre monde, avec son immense désert. Ce périple permet de découvrir les côtes indentées de l'Oranais, les plaines agricoles de la Mitidja, les contreforts de l'Atlas, les falaises d'Alger, les plages, les cimes enneigées ou encore l'incroyable diversité minérale du Sahara.

Berbers and Arabs dominate the history of Algeria, but the country also has a splendid remnant of the Roman civilization. It is not very convenient to reach Timgad, but the grand spectacle of the town and fortification built there some two thousand years ago, makes the rigors of Algeria travel worthwhile. The entire area is about one thousand meters above sea level, so it is pleasant even during the hotter months. The countryside around Timgad is desolate, and serves as an object lesson for the benefits of conservation, for it was once a thriving eco-system. While some of the taller structures such as the famous victory arch strike the eye at first glance, it is the layout and planning of Timgad which is more impressive after one spends some time amidst the ruins. The spirits of the Berbe...
À l'occasion de mes vacances en Algérie je vous raconte sous forme d'épisode mes différentes expérience qui mon marqué. Episode 2: La Cité Antique de Timgad Timgad est une cité antique située sur le territoire de la commune éponyme de Timgad, dans la wilaya de Batna dans les Aurès, au nord-est de l'Algérie, surtout connue pour les vestiges de la ville romaine de Thamugadi à côté de laquelle elle a été fondée. C'est un site archéologique de premier plan. La ville romaine, qui portait le nom de Thamugadi (colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi) dans l'Antiquité, a été fondée par l'empereur Trajan en 100 et dotée du statut de colonie. Il s'agit de la dernière colonie de déduction en Afrique romaine. Bâtie avec ses temples, ses thermes, son forum et son grand théâtre, la ville, initialement d'un...
Sur le versant nord des Aurès, Timgad fut créée ex nihilo, en 100 apr. J.-C., par l'empereur Trajan comme colonie militaire. Avec son enceinte carrée et son plan orthogonal commandé par le cardo et le decumanus, les deux voies perpendiculaires qui traversaient la ville, c'est un exemple parfait d'urbanisme romain.

Timgad lies on the northern slopes of the Aurès mountains and was created ex nihilo as a military colony by the Emperor Trajan in AD 100. With its square enclosure and orthogonal design based on the cardo and decumanus, the two perpendicular routes running through the city, it is an excellent example of Roman town planning.

Roman Architecture (HSAR 252) Professor Kleiner discusses two Roman cities in North Africa: Timgad and Leptis Magna. Timgad was created as an entirely new colony for Roman army veterans by Trajan in A.D. 100, and designed all at once as an ideal castrum plan. Leptis Magna, conversely, grew more gradually from its Carthaginian roots, experiencing significant Roman development under Augustus and Hadrian. Septimius Severus, the first Roman emperor from North Africa, was born at Leptis and his hometown was renovated in connection with his historic visit to the city. This large-scale program of architectural expansion features the Severan Forum and Basilica and the nearby Arch of Septimius Severus, a tetrapylon or four-sided arch located at the crossing of two major streets. The lecture culm...

Travel video about destination El Djem in Tunisia. Even from a distance, a monumental amphitheatre dominates the Tunisian city of El Djem, the ancient Punic settlement of Thysdrus in the heart of the later Byzantine Empire. Apart from those in Rome and Verona, this huge stone amphitheatre is the largest of its kind and a masterpiece of ancient building technique. Due to the region’s climate, the impressive construction has retained its original colour and the gigantic oval structure could accommodate 30 to 40,000 spectators. Thysdrus was one of the largest cities in ancient Africa and during the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. was also one of the most prosperous in the Roman Empire. The cultivation of olives and the production of olive oil for Rome were the reasons for the city’s prosperity tha...

Lyrics: Laitinen
Obscuring mourning of blood
Powers of beyond oppress me
Death falls from dismal eternity
Slain souls shall scream forever
Bringing calm into my existence
I walk away from false belief
He who created my dreams
Shall now be forgotten
In my time of blasphemy
Thoughts of my darkened being
God has incured in pain
I struggle through trials
I have chosen my path
I travel into uttermost shades
Creatures are now awaken
In flames they shall tell
