General view of the Temple of Pietas Augusta (August Piety), 2nd century, 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 Temple of Pietas Augusta features a semi-circular cella and a tetrastyle Corinthian portico on a podium. The Romans allowed the worship of a number local deities, worshiped in individual temples, and supported its integration in a common religion. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
