UNESCO - Timgad, Algeria

Great addition to my collection last week - Timgad lies on the northern slopes of the Aurès mountains, 480 km south-east of Algiers and 110 km to the south of Constantine. This Roman military colony was created ex nihilo (out of nothing)  in 100 A.D. by Trajan, and is an excellent example of Roman town planning.

Thanks so much Riyad, I love getting your mail :)
