Arch of Septimius Severus The entrance to the most beautiful archaeological site around the mediterrean sea |
|  | Detail of the Arch The arch and it's four imposant corinthian pillars showing the successes of the Severan era. The interior shows historical scénes of military campaigns
It reminded me at the "Arch the Triomphe" in Paris . But it is still under renovation by Italian archeologic engineers. Many original statues and reliefs are to be seen in the National museum in Tripoli. A must to visit. |
A view on the Bathing facilities The Hadrianic Baths.The floor of the "caldarium" was heated by the passage of hot gasses through the spaces. The Romans had indirect radiant heating long before we did. | | |

One of the best preserved Roman cities. Too bad where its located is not exactly a friendly country to Americans, otherwise I'd go there. | MM212 Sat Apr 26, 2008 12:33 UTC

Leptis Magna is a dream destination and it was already very high on my wish list. Your page has incresaed my will to visit it! It is a pure marvel and one of the most well preserved Roman site (if not THE) . | Kuznetsov_Sergey Mon Dec 17, 2007 13:20 UTC
Another beautifull off the beaten path place. I wish be there before it would transform into something like "ancient Egypt". |
