  • Low angle view of the Mausoleum of Ateban, also known as the Lybico-Punic Mausoleum, 2nd century B.C., in Dougga, Tunisia, pictured on January 31, 2008, in the afternoon. Dougga has been occupied since the 2nd Millennium BC, well before the Phoenicians arrived in Tunisia. It was ruled by Carthage from the 4th century BC, then by Numidians, who called it Thugga and finally taken over by the Romans in the 2nd century. Situated in the north of Tunisia, the site became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Mausoleum of Numidian Prince Ateban was built in the 3rd century. It collapsed when a British Consul removed a stone at the base and was rebuilt in the 20th century. It is the only structure belonging to the Numidian/Punic period. It even holds the name of the architect, Abarish. Picture by Manuel Cohen.

  • High angle view of Roman Theatre, 2nd century AD, Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 27, 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. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. This 10,000 seat theatre was probably built in the mid 2nd century. The tiered seats are supported by vaults rather than leaning directly on the hillside behind. Destroyed by Vandals in the 5th century and excavated in the late 19th-early 20th centuries, it now again hosts theatre performances and music festivals. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
