Photographer’s Note

Leptis Magna is a World Heritage site on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa in the Tripolitania region of Libya. Originally founded by the Phoenicians in the 10th Century BC, it survived the attention of Spartan colonists, became a Punic city and eventually part of the new Roman province of Africa around 23 BC.

The theatre in Lepcis Magna is a typical Augustan age theatre, built in AD 1-2, and subsequently renovated by Caracalla. The scaenae frons (back scene) of the theatre is well preserved.
