Description

"Lepcis Magna", one of the greatest of the Roman cities of North Africa and one of the most famous archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, was situated in the region of Tripolitania.

Birthplace of the Emperor Septimius Severus, the city has yielded many well-preserved monuments from its Roman past.

Mattingly presents valuable information on the pre-Roman tribal background, the urban centres, the military frontier and the regional economy.

He reinterprets many aspects of the settlement history of this marginal arid zone that was once made prosperous, and considers the wider themes of Romanization, frontier military strategy, and economic links between provinces and sources of elite wealth.
