Leptis Magna was a Roman city near the modern day city of Homs on the Mediterranean coast of Libya. The ruins are considered some of the best preserved of the Roman world and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. Founded by the Phoenicians in about 1000BC it came under the control of Carthage and then of Rome after the defeat of Carthage. Septimus Severus, who was born in Leptis Magna and became emperor in 193AD, did much to make it one of the “most beautiful cities of the Roman world”. His town planning projects included the port, forum, basilica, market, circus and amphitheatre. It fell into decline from the third century AD and was fought over by the Romans, Vandals and Berbers. But despite the inevitable destruction, much remains standing. Of particular note are the port, which involved the construction of a dam and canal to control the water levels, and the market which still has its votive arch, colonnades and shops. Excavations only began in the 1920s, digs are on-going and much remains to be uncovered. There is a museum of finds in Homs.
