Museum of Archaeological site of Timgad, Archaeological museum near the ruins of Timgad, Algeria

The museum displays more than 80 mosaics, statues, pottery, coins, and inscriptions discovered within the ancient Roman settlement of Timgad.

The institution opened its doors in 1930 to preserve artifacts from Timgad, a Roman city founded by Emperor Trajan in 100 AD.

The collection includes notable mosaic representations of Neptune riding his chariot, Artemis with Actaeon, and Venus accompanied by a marine centaur.

The museum stands at the entrance of the archaeological site, providing visitors with context and understanding before exploring the Roman ruins.

Many artifacts in the museum demonstrate the advanced urban planning techniques of Romans, who built Timgad with a precise grid street layout.
