High angle view of the Decumanus below the Villa of the Aviary, Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 28, 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. Today the site is a UNESCO World Heritage. The Roman Villa of the Aviary, with its octagonal garden set in a peristyle courtyard, is known for its fine mosaics depicting birds. The Roman Villas were constructed on the site of a Punic cemetery. A Decumanus is an east-west orientated road through a Roman city. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
