	Algeria - Timgad
		Timgad lies on the northern slopes of the Aurès mountains and was created ex nihilo as a military colony by the Emperor Trajan in A.D. With its square enclosure and orthogonal design based on the cardo and decumanus, the two perpendicular routes running through the city, it is an excellent example of Roman town planning.
		Timgad (ancient Thamugadi or Thamugadis), is a ruined city of Algeria, on the slopes of the Aurès Mountains, south of Constantine, and southeast of Batna.
		With the decline of the Roman Empire, Timgad ceased to flourish, and suffered from the invasions of the Vandals, the Byzantines, and the Arabs.

		Though often repeated, it is not true that Cagnat did not consider seriously the possiblity that the building was a library: the plan identifies the building as "edifice demi-circulaire (bibliotheque?)."
		This later summary takes into account conclusions reached after Cagnat's excavation report, most esp. the evidence from Ephesos and that of the inscription that identifies the building.
		The excavators do not report any known temples within the city (there is a temple to the genius of Timgad at the city gate), so the proximity to religious or state structures other than forum and theater is not known.

		The Romans built on a scale that reached out and articulated space in a way that was both rational and elevating, and others could recognize and emulate this ability and interest.
		This space is captured and made visible on two scales, the monumental abstract scale of the giant outside in the forums and the concrete and personal of the great geometry of their interiors.
		Timgad was a rational diagram of the state in which each citizen could locate themselves socially and politically as well as economically and personally.
