Cote Nord Ouest Timgad Trajan Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic ruins of the Arch of Triumph de Trajan in Timgad, Algeria. Built between AD 112 and 114 during the Roman Empire, this architectural marvel once stood as a grand entrance to the colonnaded street leading to the Forum. The arch was dedicated to the Emperor Trajan, who was revered for his military victories and his role in expanding the Roman Empire's territories. The image showcases the north-western facade of the arch, with its intricately carved reliefs depicting various scenes from Trajan's military campaigns. The arch's height and grandeur are emphasized by the barren landscape surrounding it, highlighting the contrast between the ancient structure and the modern world. Timgad, also known as Thamugadi, was a Roman colonia founded in AD 100 by Emperor Trajan. The city was designed as a model Roman town, complete with a grid layout, temples, public baths, and a forum. The site is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and archaeologists. Despite the passage of time and the elements, the Arch of Triumph de Trajan continues to stand as a testament to the ingenuity and grandeur of the Roman Empire. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Roman Empire ruled the world.
