The Roman colonial city, Timgad. 00:00:00
The remains of a Roman city were discovered buried in the sands of northern Algeria in 1881. 00:00:05
The city, known as Timgad, was found just as it had been left 2,000 years ago. 00:00:13
Numerous Roman structures were built to demonstrate the power and prosperity of the empire at that time. 00:00:20
Stored rainwater and irrigated water was brought here. 00:00:28
Along the walls of this open area are bench-like chairs. 00:00:34
Each seat has a round hole. This, in fact, is a public lavatory. 00:00:40
Rainwater flowed through the channel below and flushed the human waste away. 00:00:47
The water and sewage systems are especially remarkable. 00:00:54
A notable feature of Timgad is that all the houses are the same size. 00:01:00
Why was the town designed in a grid system? 00:01:06
Dividing land equally among Romans and Africans and promoting equality would appeal to all citizens of the city. 00:01:11
Timgad was the embodiment of Roman power, but it also existed for another hidden political purpose. 00:01:20
When Timgad was built, it was declared that only Roman citizens would be allowed to live there. 00:01:29
Roman citizenship was granted to any man completing 25 years of military service and his son. 00:01:35
People wanting to benefit from comfortable living conditions and for the sake of their children willingly joined the army. 00:01:43
Timgad was a city built for soldiers who gained citizenship by fighting for Rome. 00:01:51
The reward for enduring a harsh military life was the prospect of leading an elegant life in Timgad. 00:01:58
In the corner of the public square are the remains of some ancient graffiti which reads, 00:02:05
to hunt, bathe, play games and laugh, this is life. 00:02:10
