Lepcis
Magna began as a small port city on Libya's Mediterranean coast
and became a magnificent Roman city in the third century A.D. under
the rule of Emperor Septimus Severus. Before Roman rule, Lepcis
was a trading post for Carthaginian merchants. This theater is a
typical Augustan age theater, built between the first and second
centuries A.D. [Photo credit: Jean Louis Venne (France)] ©
