Carthage
Low angle view of a Decumanus in the Park of the Roman Villas, Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 29, 2008, in the afternoon. Carthage was founded in 814 BC by the Phoenicians who fought three Punic Wars against the Romans over this immensely important Mediterranean harbour. The Romans finally conquered the city in 146 BC. Subsequently it was conquered by the Vandals and the Byzantine Empire. Today the site is a UNESCO World Heritage. The Roman Villas were constructed on the site of a Punic cemetery. A Decumanus is an east-west orientated road through a Roman city. Picture by Manuel Cohen
