## Image Caption

Like all [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) [cities](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/), Tipasa (modern Tipaza in Algeria) was organised around its two main axes: *decumanus* (main east-west street) and *cardo* (main south-north street). The Cardo Maximus, descending towards the sea, was paved and bordered by porticoes supported by rows of piers.
