Timgad, located in modern-day Algeria, is a remarkable archaeological site that showcases the remains of a Roman colonial town founded by Emperor Trajan around 100 AD. Known for its well-preserved grid layout, Timgad features impressive ruins including a grand Trajan's Arch, a basilica, a theater, and a large forum, exemplifying the Roman urban planning and architecture. The site offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Roman settlement in North Africa and stands as a testament to the expansive reach of the Roman Empire.
