- Info Hypogeum of the Amphitheatre of El Jem, an archeological site in the city of El Djem, Tunisia. This spot of the hypogeum is the place where the gladiators went up to the gate of the arena when the games started. The amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, was built around 238 AD, when the modern Tunisia belonged to the Roman province of Africa. It is the third biggest amphiteatre and one of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world with capacity for 35,000 spectators within 148 metres (486 ft) and 122 metres (400 ft) long axes and a unique in Africa.

- Oppose Nice but not FP-nice. In other words: No wow. Sorry. --Code (talk) 05:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - As Code says, it's pretty good, and I could go either way on this one, but I prefer this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:35, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Poco, reading your "Info" again, I think that for historical and educational/encyclopedic reasons plus quality, this photo should be featured. I will vote to feature it if you copy this information to the description on the file page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. Support, and anyone who translates that background into Spanish and French will be doing a good service. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:36, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Will take care of the Spanish version in a few weeks when I get settled Poco2 18:33, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
