It was founded by Trajan in 100 as a colony for army veterans and built by soldiers stationed at Lambaesis. Although its plan is overwhelmingly military, there is little doubt that Thamugadi was intended to be a town, not a military base. Its square shape comprises a grid of 111 blocks, each 20 sq. m; most were subdivided into properties for the individual settlers, while a good number were given over to public buildings. The forum (50×43 m) was surrounded by shops, a public lavatory, the judicial basilica, a temple dedicated to Trajan and his military victories and, in the north-east corner, the so-called Maison des Jardinières. Near by there was a market and a theatre (begun 160), while elsewhere in the town no fewer than 14 bath complexes were built; together with the magnificent library (4th century). Before long, the town began to expand beyond its walls. The capitolium, a magnificent temple to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva (begun c. 160), was built on a high podium to the south-west of the town, and private housing soon followed. The orientation of the street grid was largely ignored, a departure from rigid planning that is consistent with spontaneous growth. Eventually large parts of the old town walls were pulled down, while to the west the gate was replaced by a splendid triumphal arch built c. ad 200 under Severus, though incorrectly known as the Arch of Trajan. Just outside is a great market (early 3rd century ad), paid for by a rich citizen, M. Plotius Faustus Sertius. Thamugadi suffered so extensively from raids by local tribesmen in the late 5th century ad that when it was occupied by the Byzantines in 539 a huge fort was built. It lay some way south of the town, over an older religious sanctuary. Measuring 112×67 m, it is remarkable for its huge walls, well-preserved barracks (which were two or three storeys high), commander's house and chapel. The town was finally deserted in the mid-7th century ad.
