Scenes of Madauros/Mdaourouch

This page comprises images taken on the archaeological site of ancient Madauros, near modern Mdaourouch, Algeria. The city's most famous son was Apuleius, while Augustine reports in Book 2 of his Confessions that he attended "grammar school" there (on the educational system of Africa, see K. Vössing, Schule und Bildung in Nordafrika der römischen Kaiserzeit [1997]).
