ANCIENT BERBERO-ROMAN CITY
ALGERIA
The Roman town, known by its ancient Berber name Cuicul, and now referred to as Djemila after the nearby town of Djemila contains some of the best preserved Berbero-Roman monuments in North Africa.
Cuicul was founded by the Roman emperor Nerva in the first century AD, and is a fascinating example of Roman town planning adapted to a mountain location. The site is 900 metres above sea level, and situated on a rocky spur between two wadis. Djémila is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The spatial documentation of Djémila took place during two Zamani Project field campaigns in 2013 and 2014. Several structures were spatially documented, including the Baptistry, the Caracalla Gate, the Market, the temple of Septimius Severus and the Theatre.
The documentation was executed in co-operation with Prof Hamza Zeghlache and his team from the University of Setif, Algeria.

The Arch of Caracalla is a Roman triumphal arch located at Djémila in Algeria. It was built during the early 3rd century. The arch is surrounded by the monuments of the ancient city of Djémila.
The circular domed structure of the baptistery is one of the earliest Christian buildings in Norther Africa. The building at Djemila is attached to thermae, a small basilica and two open courtyards. Presumably, all these spaces provided settings for rites that preceded or complemented Baptism. ca. June 1983 (www.repository.library.georgetown.edu)
The model shows the inside of the Baptistry, by creating a section through the model.
114 laser scans were captured of this structure to create the 3D model.
