| The Capitol of Dougga was erected during the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, and the construction probably ended in 166-167 CE. The temple was dedicated to the Capitoline triad, Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Juno Regina, and Minerva Augusta.
Dougga or Thugga was a Berber, Punic and Roman settlement near present-day Téboursouk in northern Tunisia. The current archaeological site covers 65 hectares. UNESCO qualified Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, believing that it represents `the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa`. |
