Associated with Decumanus Maximus World Heritage Site at Timgad, Algeria....{Arch of Trajan}??

You got it !
I knew it was during a pipeline survey I did many years ago that I saw it but thought it was the one running into Odessa from Romania but it is just off the Ouagla - Annaba line in sunny Algeria !

I should "Red" you for reminding me of that shitty job

Hadrian I think

**Happyman** · 10-01-2009, 12:36 PM

Trajans' arch is there but not the one in the pic
its bigger with three carriageways through it
a pic of this one is at
35 29 09 07 N
6 28 37 67 E
on Google Earth

**Happyman** · 10-01-2009, 12:54 PM

I'm all confused now

You say its not Timgad ??

I have seen the bugger and the pic is on Google !!!

Whatever - it is within a few miles of a stinking bloody pipeline that I surveyed and I did a lot of the bloody boring things !!!

P.S. as you may have guessed - pipeline surveys were not the most favourite of assignments - If you could pull a "sickie" so your mate had to go you did !!!

Possibly there are a number of hadrian-style archs most everywhere.....
