El Djem Amphitheater
The third-largest Roman amphitheater ever built (after Rome and Capua), rising dramatically from the Tunisian plains. Though Roman, it stands in what was Carthaginian territory - a massive statement of Roman power over conquered Punic lands. The underground chambers where gladiators and animals waited are remarkably intact. Best-preserved Roman monument in Africa.
