The Roman aqueduct of Constantine (ancient Cirta) in Algeria was built to supply water to the city, once capital of the Numidian kingdom and later a major center of Roman North Africa. Its arches and piers span the landscape above the Rhumel River gorge, exemplifying Roman hydraulic engineering. The site also contains a Numidian necropolis in its substructure, linking it to the pre-Roman Berber civilization of the region.
