Djemila setif

Algeria and Tunisia are home to multiple Roman sites and Djémila is only one of a number of UNESCO recognized Roman towns in this part of the world. Indeed the density of Roman sites is a reflection of the importance of this region which became the bread basket of the empire, exporting vast qualities of grain, olive oil and wine to Rome. This trade generated considerable wealth locally and this can be seen in the roads, villas, temples, fora, baths and marketplaces of the various Roman towns and cities.
