Once one of the most important grain-producing regions to feed the voracious Roman appetite, and wild animals to keep the crowds entertained as they tried to devour gladiators in the arena, this thriving provincial city was home to some 200,000 inhabitants at the height of its glory. The city's importance is reflected in the Capitoline Temple, the Basilica, said to be one of the most beautiful in Africa in its day, and its 1,300 square metre Forum, with sumptuous mosaics that can still be seen in some of the more luxurious houses.
