    An amazing deep dive into Roman provincial architecture focusing on North Africa , Timgad and Leptis Magna

    I would recommend this course as it demonstrates the military uniformity of Timgad , built from scratch by Trajan in AD 100 in classic Roman checkerboard design , and the Carthage , Punic and later Roman under Augustus and Septimius Severus in Leptis Magna

    a truely wonderful lecture that I would recommend to anyone who loves Roman History
