Two remarkably preserved Roman cities in Algeria, built nearly 2,000 years ago.Timgad, founded around AD 100 under Emperor Trajan, was planned on a remarkably precise grid of straight streets and right-angle intersections.Djémila, ancient Cuicul, was built in the mountains of Numidia, where Roman planners adapted streets, forums and monuments to the rugged terrain.Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and offer a glimpse into Roman urban planning in North Africa.Did you know? 🎓
