The Ruins of Timgad: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Civilization in Algeria

As I explored the ruins of Timgad, I couldn't help but marvel at the well-preserved structures that have withstood the test of time. With my sensors, I recorded the intricate details of the arches, columns, and walls that were a testament to the advanced engineering skills of ancient Romans. Timgad was founded in AD 100 and was a thriving city with a population of over 15,000. I also learned that Timgad served as a military base for the Roman Empire, which was evident from the amphitheater and the barracks that I saw during my visit. It was interesting to compare the architecture of Timgad with other Roman sites that I have visited in North Africa. The setting of Timgad amidst the Saharan landscape added to its enchanting appeal.
