Dougga - Arch of Septimius Severus

The Arch of Septimius Severus (5m/16ft wide) in Dougga was erected in A.D. 205 to mark the town's promotion to the status of municipium, which carried with it the right to its own constitution, administration and civic law. The arch leads into the road from Carthage to Theveste (Tébessa).
