Like all [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) [cities](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/), Cuicul (modern Djémila in Algeria) was organised around its two main axes: *decumanus* (main east-west street) and *cardo* (main south-north street). At Cuicul, the Cardo Maximus was 5 m (16 ft) wide and bordered on both sides by porticoes 3.50 m (11.4 ft) wide with Tuscan Doric and Corinthian colonnades.
