How can it be a Roman theater when it is located in Tunisia in the great empire of Carthage? The Carthaginian theater of El Jem is entirely made of polished stones inside and out, while the Rome theater’s facade is made of only polished stones and its interior is made of molded Roman cement (Kentol). The date of construction is questionable. The measuring unit in the El Jem Theater is the Carthaginian arm, not the Roman foot. The Rome Theater has 19 fatal engineering errors, its arches are uneven, and it needs an annual restoration process or it will collapse.

@@adobotravels Thank you for your interest in Tunisia. Tunisia has a rich history from BC to the present day. It continues to provide achievements and contribute to the progress of humanity. It is a land of peace, love and tolerance, The deterioration that occurred there is the result of colonialism, the consequences of which we are still suffering. But this country, like the phoenix, will shine again.

@@adobotravels Regarding the theater of El Jem and the rest of the historical monuments that they attribute to the Romans, such as mosaics and others, do not forget that the victor is the one who wrote history. When the Romans won the war, they attacked and burned Carthage and scattered salt on its land for fear of them and for fear that it rise again They destroyed most of its landmarks, and what they were not able to destroy was attributed to them
