Melvadius Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Interesting video: http://historyoftheancientworld.com/2010/0...an-city-thugga/ guy also known as gaius Alas poor Thugga I knew her well. Actually I remember both the site and the video quite well having visited Dougga/ Thugga and then done the OU course the video clip originally came from a few years back (AA309 Culture Identity and Power in the Roman Empire). It is a site that is well worth the visit if anyone gets out to Tunisia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there much to see there? I would love to go there, as well as see Palmyra (in Syria) along with the Parthian and Sassanian ruins in Iran and Iraq as soon as thing are less insane in that region. (That should be just around the time my unicorn ranch is up and running.) guy also known as gaius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That should be just around the time my unicorn ranch is up and running.) guy also known as gaius There is quite a lot to see in Carthage (and indeed the rest of Tunisia from the Roman period some examples of which I have posted fom a Tunisian arcaheological tour I did a few years back onto the gallery area. In particualr you may be interested in my Byrsa Hill/ Carthage or my Thugga/ Dougga galleries. If you get to Tunisia and in particular to Carthage then the Bardo Museum is a 'must see' as it has example of mosaics from numerous of the Tunisian Romano/ Punic sites as well as some of the Punic sites which predated the Roman period. I also posted a few images from Thuburbo Majus, which is another Romano/ Punic town, as well as El Djem which is notable for its Ampitheatre being claimed as the third largest in the Roman empire.
