Timgad was built in the year 100 by Emperor
Trajan for former Roman soldiers. However,
at its largest, over 10,000 Romans, North Africans, and Berbers all lived
together in the city. While many of them never saw Rome, they did make a
little copy of it in the desert. Timgad had roads, a large market, different places
to bathe, two schools, and a public library. The city even had a theater with
room for 3,500 people.
If you want to visit, Andante Travel offers a 10-day trip to two Roman sites,
including Timgad. Traveling to Algeria may be dangerous, though. Check
www.statedept.gov/algeria first, and see if it's OK.
