LIBYA.. WHO KNEW? Today was one of those days where I truly can't believe what I saw with my own two eyes.
Located in Northern Libya, Leptis Magna is widely considered to be (one of) the world's most preserved ancient Roman cities.
I had the entire place to myself and I have been in a constant state of shock by how impressive this is. By now, I've had the chance to thoroughly explore 5 or 6 Roman cities -- and Leptis Magna is by far the best.
I'm struggling to explain any further in words. Just watch the video and you'll understand what I'm saying!

Shooting from the Hip in Leptis Magna, Libya
( ) Professional Photographer Herb Schmitz talks about his trip to the site of Leptis Magna, Libya, described by UNESCO as being one of the most beautiful cities of the Roman Empire. Herb discusses the difficulties he and his wife encountered in Libya, and trying to take photographs at this almost untouched site which was only made accessible to the public in 2005, as well as some of the fascinating features of these ruins.
LEPTIS MAGNA , LIBYA...
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (
Leptis Magna in Al Khums, Libya
IN WHAT IS NOW LIBYA, Leptis Magna was once the shining star of the Roman Empire.
As far as ruins go, the city still stands out as a superior example of Rome’s considerable advances in urban planning and architecture. Despite existing in an unstable nation and sporadically under threat of being caught in the crossfires of civil unrest, it has survived as one of the most complete set of Roman ruins standing.
Originally a Phoenician and Berber foundation, the city became part of the grandiose Roman Empire under Tiberius. Under the reign of Lucius Septimius Severus in 193, Leptis peaked as the third greatest city on the entire continent of Roman Africa. Unfortunately, like so many other Roman cities, the vibrant metropolis was doomed by its growth and ingenuity outgrowing its means, and by mid-4th century, the once glorious city by the sea was heavily abandoned, easily sacked by invaders, and in constant threat of destruction due to war and civil unrest.
While the ruins still stand regally against the sky, that threat has yet to pass. As recently as 2011, civil war has found its way to Leptis Magna, a ready-made bunker, attractive as a place to hide weapons, shield military vehicles, and keep backs to the sea. Despite being under UNESCO’s protective wing, its vulnerability to rebels has prompted NATO to make no promises that it will remain off limits from air strikes if intervention is necessary. Currently the site is quiet, and the empty city sleeps.

Sabratha and Leptis Magna Libya
Splendid Roman ruins, perfectly preserved, by the sea with the desert behind.
Leptis Magna - perła Trypolitanii. Libya. لَبْدَة
Film przedstawia jedne z najlepiej zachowanych ruin miast rzymskich. Leptis Magna to największe z trzech miast dawnej Kartaginy, następnie Imperium Rzymskiego, które tworzyły tzw. Tripolis - Trójmiasto, czyli Oei, Sabraty i Leptis Magna.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leptis Magna,(Arabic: لَبْدَة ) also known as Lectis Magna (or Lepcis Magna as it is sometimes spelled), also called Lpqy, Neapolis, Lebida or Lebda to modern-day residents of Libya, was a prominent city of the Roman Empire. Its ruins are located in Al Khums, Libya, 130 km east of Tripoli, on the coast where the Wadi Lebda meets the sea. The site is one of the most spectacular and unspoiled Roman ruins in the Mediterranean.
She Gives Happiness (Tripoli, Libya)

On the streets of Tripoli, Libya, I met a wonderful lady named Hadia who has a really inspiring story to share.
She's an entrepreneur, an artist, a teacher, a problem solver (among many others) -- but the most encouraging thing about her story is how she is able to make everyone around her stay positive as Libya has been undergoing a tough state of war and instability.
I was invited to her house/workshop today on the outskirts of Tripoli, where the majority of this video was shot. It has been great getting a glimpse of her life and seeing how she is making an impact on Libyan society.

2007 Libye Leptis Magna Un site en danger
Depuis notre visite du site romain Leptis Magna, aussi appelé la Perle de l'Afrique, les choses ont bien changé, La guerre a passé par là. La protection des lieux n'est plus vraiment assurée, on ne peut plus y faire de visite. Ces images vidéos ont la qualité de ce qu'était la technologie en 2007, mais témoignent de l'intérêt du site, qui j'espère survivra à la barbarie. (Cf Palmyre)

Senioren-Reisen (20): Leptis magna - römische und nicht-römische Spuren
In Libyen ist voll von altertümlichen Spuren (Karthago, Griechen, Römer, Byzantium, Türken) - ein Fundgrube für Hobby-Archäologen. Hätte es 2011 nicht den mörderischen arabischen Frühling gegeben, hätte das Regime aus dem Land, wie einst im benachbarten Tunesien, vielleicht ein Bade- und Urlaubsparadies gemacht. So wird es Jahre dauern bis wir hier wieder die Sahara sehen. + +

Leptis Magna was a Roman City in Libya.
RomanCity in Lybya with much Ancient History.
lepcis magna
La cité a probablement été fondée par les Phéniciens mais les premières traces d'occupation sont datées du VIIe siècle av. J.-C.1
Cependant, elle ne prit toute son importance que lorsque Carthage étendit sa domination au bassin méditerranéen au IVe siècle av. J.-C. À l'issue de la troisième guerre punique, elle passe sous l'autorité de la république romaine. Cependant, aux alentours de 200 av. J.-C., elle constitue de fait une cité indépendante.
Ce statut perdura jusqu'à ce que l'empereur Tibère l'incorpore dans la province d'Afrique. Elle devint alors une des cités les plus influentes d'Afrique du Nord et un important centre de commerce.
Leptis connut sa plus grande prospérité quand en 193, un de ses enfants, Lucius Septime Sévère, devint à son tour empereur. Il favorisa sa ville natale, notamment en bâtissant de somptueux monuments, qui en firent l'une des trois plus belles villes africaines, rivalisant avec Carthage et Alexandrie. Il s'y rendit certainement avec sa famille en 203, où il fut reçu avec faste.
Lors de la crise économique du IIIe siècle, pendant laquelle le commerce déclina rapidement, Leptis Magna perdit également de son importance. Après les destructions causées par le violent tremblement de terre de la période 306-310, puis la dévastation causée le 21 juillet 365 par un autre tremblement de terre d'épicentre en Crète suivi d'un tsunami2, la ville est en partie abandonnée. Ce déclin peut également s'expliquer par les attaques des Austuriani (un peuple de Maures de l'extérieur) en 362-365, auxquelles le comte d'Afrique Romanus, responsable de l'armée romaine en Afrique, n'a pas pu répondre. Elle connut un faible renouveau sous le règne de Théodose Ier.
En 439, Leptis Magna et le reste des villes de Tripolitaine passèrent sous le contrôle des Vandales, quand leur roi Genséric prit Carthage aux Romains pour en faire sa capitale. Afin d'éviter que Leptis Magna ne se rebelle contre le nouvel ordre vandale, Genséric ordonna de raser ses murs. Cette mesure permit malheureusement à un groupe de Berbères de saccager la ville en 523.
Bélisaire reprit Leptis Magna pour le compte de Byzance dix ans plus tard, et en 534 il renversa le royaume des Vandales. Leptis devint alors une capitale provinciale de l'Empire byzantin. Cependant, elle ne se remit jamais des destructions commises par les Berbères. En 650, les Arabes envahirent à leur tour la Tripolitaine, et la ville fut abandonnée à l'exception d'une garnison byzantine.
Au fil des siècles, le site, oublié, fut enseveli sous les sables. Et ce, jusqu'au XVIIe siècle lorsqu'il fut exploité pour ses matériaux : des colonnes utilisées pour le Grand Autel de l'Abbaye de Saint-Germain des Prés (gravure de Lucas, 1717) se trouvent maintenant dans la grande galerie des peintures du Louvre, où elles ont été transférées à la Révolution lors de la destruction de cet autel.
L'exploration archéologique débuta avec l'arrivée des italiens au début du XXe siècle.
Aujourd'hui, le site de Leptis Magna constitue l'un des plus impressionnants vestiges de l'Empire romain, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1982.
