Before the Roman annexation of Numidia, the town of Thugga, built on an elevated site overlooking a fertile plain, was the capital of an important Libyco-Punic state. It flourished under Roman and Byzantine rule, but declined in the Islamic period. The impressive ruins that are visible today give some idea of the resources of a small Roman town on the fringes of the empire.Thanking you Mohmed Elloumi for sending this card once again as the earlier one might have been lost in transit and was surprised to see the card in my mailbox..
