1Leptis Magna in Libya

On the Mediterranean coast in Libya, stand the ancient columns of the amphitheatre at Leptis Magna. Founded more than 2,000 years ago, this Roman city was the birthplace of Emperor Septimius Severus who invested significantly in the city during his reign.

Leptis Magna was one of the beautiful cities of the Roman Empire, and the ruins include monuments, a harbor, hops and residential districts. Some of the most impressive sites include the Arch of Septimius Severus, constructed in 203 CE to honor the emperor, the amphitheatre, Hadrian’s Baths and the Basilica of Severus. The city was situated on the coast and there are lovely views out to sea.
