Summary
| Description |
English: The Public Library of Timgad occupies a rectangle 81 feet (24.69 meters) long by 77 feet (23.47 meters) wide and faces the Cardo Maximus. It consists of a large semi-circular room flanked by two secondary rectangular rooms and preceded by a U-shaped colonnaded portico surrounding three sides on an open court. The portico is flanked by two long narrow rooms on each side, and the large vaulted hall would have combined the functions of a reading room, stack room, and perhaps a lecture room.
An inscription records that it was erected by M. Julius Quintianus Flavius Rogatianus at a cost of 400,000 sesterces. Source: Pfeiffer, H. (1931). The Roman Library at Timgad. Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, 9, 157-165. |
