Madauros is a former Roman city which remains are not far from the modern Algerian city – M’daourouch. The Roman writer Apuleius was born in this city.<\/p>\n
The Ruins of Madauros covers 267 acres; scientists suspect that only 17 acres have been discovered at the moment. The first discovery of the Roman city was made at the beginning of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
The paved road and the ancient entrance gate have survived to our times. The city itself has typical Roman buildings<\/a>: a theatre (stone seats have survived), baths, basilica, mausoleum, statues, etc.<\/p>\n The city of Madauros was founded in the 1st century CE, during the reign of Emperor Nerva<\/a>. Originally it was a colony – Colonia Flavia Augusta Veteranorum Madaurensium<\/em>, whose inhabitants were Roman veterans.<\/p>\n The city prospered and became one of the main Roman cities of Numidia. With time, the place where the majority of the population<\/a> was made up of local Berbers took place. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire<\/a>, the city experienced a gradual decline as a result of the Vandal rule in North Africa<\/a>. The city was temporarily conquered by the Byzantines; it was finally completely deserted before the Arab invasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":71983,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[69,89],"class_list":["post-71986","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-monuments","kategorie_ciekawostek-places"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/71986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/71986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=71986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
