Lambessa, the HQ building of the Roman Legionary Camp - Entrance hall - Lambaesis, or Lambaesa, is a Roman ruin in Algeria, 7 miles southeast of Batna and 17 miles west of Timgad, located next to the modern village of Tazoult. The remains of the Roman town, and more especially of the Roman camp, in spite of wanton vandalism, are among the most interesting ruins in northern Africa. The ruins are situated on the lower terraces of the Aures Mountains, and consist of triumphal arches (one to Septimius Severus, another to Commodus), temples, aqueducts, vestiges of an amphitheatre, baths and an immense quantity of masonry belonging to private houses. ?TopFoto
