L\u2019Amphith\u00e9\u00e2tre d\u2019El Jem est un t\u00e9moignage monumental du savoir\u2011faire architectural et technique romain en Afrique du Nord. \u00c9difi\u00e9 vers 230\u2013238\u202fapr.\u202fJ.-C., durant une p\u00e9riode de prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 aliment\u00e9e par le commerce de l\u2019huile d\u2019olive \u00e0 Thysdrus, il pouvait accueillir \u00e0 l\u2019origine environ 35\u202f000 spectateurs.<\/p>\n

Construit enti\u00e8rement en \u00e9normes blocs de gr\u00e8s sur un terrain plat \u2014 fait rare pour les amphith\u00e9\u00e2tres de son \u00e9poque \u2014, la structure elliptique \u00e0 trois niveaux mesure 148\u202f\u00d7\u202f122\u202fm et s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 36\u202fm de hauteur. Sa fa\u00e7ade est rythm\u00e9e par une s\u00e9rie d\u2019arches d\u2019ordre composite, et sous l\u2019ar\u00e8ne se trouve un hypog\u00e9e sophistiqu\u00e9 avec des galeries vo\u00fbt\u00e9es et des cages pour animaux et gladiateurs.<\/p>\n

Fait inhabituel, l\u2019amphith\u00e9\u00e2tre ne s\u2019appuie pas sur une colline pour son renfort, mais sur un syst\u00e8me complexe d\u2019arches assurant son soutien structurel, ce qui le rend unique en Afrique et l\u2019un des amphith\u00e9\u00e2tres romains les plus aboutis apr\u00e8s le Colis\u00e9e de Rome.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9clin de l\u2019Empire romain d\u2019Occident, le site connut divers usages\u202f: forteresse au Moyen \u00c2ge, abri urbain, et m\u00eame production de salp\u00eatre et habitations aux XVIII\u1d49\u2013XIX\u1d49 si\u00e8cles. Des travaux de consolidation aux XX\u1d49 et XXI\u1d49 si\u00e8cles ont stabilis\u00e9 la structure restante et restaur\u00e9 certaines parties des gradins et des vo\u00fbtes.<\/p>\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, il se pr\u00e9sente dans un \u00e9tat de conservation remarquable et constitue le c\u0153ur du Festival international de symphonies d\u2019El Jem, symbolisant \u00e0 la fois la permanence du patrimoine architectural romain et la continuit\u00e9 culturelle de la Tunisie.<\/p>\n
