“Libya Emerging from the Sands”
The Cities of Cyrene, Leptis Magna and Sabratha
By
Elizabeth Gordon
“It is hard to imagine a Roman site more splendid than Leptis Magna, birthplace of Roman Emperor, Septimius Severus, who made it his life's work to create a city worthy of his rank, made of gleaming white marble.”
“As for Sabratha, I doubt whether there is a more beautiful Roman theatre
anywhere.”
“Cyrene, more Greek than Roman, has a magisterial
Doric temple and extensive archaeological treasures.”
