The Ancient Romans were the greatest builders in the world and covered the Mediterranean with monuments that provide ample evidence of their art of construction. In Italy, even in Sicily, but also in France, Spain, Croatia, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco. And even in Algeria, whose Roman ruins remain the least known of all the heritage left by the Roman Empire. This book therefore aims to revisit the most beautiful sites of Roman Algeria, through superb shots by photographer Ferrante Ferranti: the ruins of Tipasa, buried under vegetation and plunging towards the sea; the oldest theater in North Africa at Cherchel; ancient Djemila, built on a rocky spur between steep-sided valleys; but also Timgad, Hippone, Lambèse, Tiddis, Madaure, Khemissa... A marvelous journey to the heart of the Roman world, enhanced by a text by Domonique Fernandez.
