Built by the Roman Emperor Trajan around 100AD, Timgad is a city that still reminds people of its former glory, even in modern times. Located in the Aures Mountains of Algeria, this ancient city is an outstanding example of the grid plan used in Roman urban design. The ruins were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
