Line 85:
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.
[[Image:Vue-aérienne-Lambèse.jpg|thumb|left|250px| Aerial view of Lambaesis ruins]]
The lower town has several remains including the Arch of Commodus, [[Spa|thermal baths]], an [[amphitheatre]]...etc ,The ruins are situated on the lower terraces of the [[Aures Mountains]], and consist of [[triumphal arch]]es (one to [[Septimius Severus]], another to [[Commodus]]), [[temple]]s, [[aqueduct (Roman)|aqueducts]], vestiges of an [[amphitheatre]], [[bathing|bath]]s and an immense quantity of masonry belonging to private houses. To the north and east lie extensive [[cemetery|cemeteries]] with the stones standing in their original alignments; to the west is a similar area, from which, however, the stones have been largely removed for building the modern village.
 
Of the temple of [[Aesculapius]] only one column is standing, though in the middle of the 19th century its façade was entire. The capitol or [[temple]] dedicated to [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter]], [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]] and [[Minerva]], which has been cleared of debris, has a [[portico]] with eight [[column]]s. On level ground about two-thirds of a mile from the centre of the ancient town stands the camp, its site now partly occupied by the penitentiary and its gardens. It measures {{convert|1640|ft|m}} by {{convert|1476|ft|m}}, and in the middle rise the ruins of a building commonly called, but incorrectly, the [[praetorium]]. This noble building, which dates from 268, is {{convert|92|ft|m}} long by {{convert|66|ft|m}} broad and {{convert|49|ft|m}} high; its southern façade has a splendid [[peristyle]] half the height of the wall, consisting of a front row of massive [[Ionic column]]s and an engaged row of Corinthian pilasters.
Line 96:
About {{convert|2|mi|km}} south of Lambessa are the ruins of Markuna, the ancient [[Verecunda]], including two triumphal arches.
