Low angle view of the Arch of Septimius Severus, 205 A.D., with the landscape in the background, 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 arch of the Roman emperor was constructed in 205 A.D. to commemorate the town's new status of Municipium. This status granted self-governance and full rights of Roman citizenship for its people. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
