DECUMANUS ET CARDO
This 12-metre-long axis, located in the Roman city of Tipasa, is a section of road that linked Caesarea (Cherchell) to Icosium (Algiers).
Like all Roman cities, Tipasa was organized around two main axes: the decumanus maximus and the cardo, which intersect at the temple. The uncovered section of the decumanus, with its particularly well-preserved paving, joins the Porte de Césarée to the west, passing by the Nymphaeum. This 12-meter-wide axis is a section of the road that linked Caesarea (Cherchell) to Icosium (Algiers). It crosses the cardo at right-angles, the latter running north towards the sea. At the crossroads, rounded stones bear witness to the passage of chariots.
