The Mausoleum of Ateban, Dougga (Thugga), Tunisia. Artist: Samuel Magal
The Mausoleum of Ateban, Dougga (Thugga), Tunisia. The Mausoleum of Ateban is the only surviving Numidian/Punic structure in Tunisia. It was built in the second century for Ateban, a contemporary of Masinissa, son of Jepmatath and grandson of Palu. The monument with shows Hellenistic and Egyptian influences. A six-stepped substructure supports a square plinth with pilasters topped by Aeolic capitals at the corners. The tomb chamber was entered through two windows which were closed by stone panels. Above this are three steps bearing the second story, which is articulated by fluted Ionic semi-columns. A further three steps lead up to the third story, at the corners of which stood equestrian statues. The final stage is a pyramidal roof.
