Arguably the best-preserved Roman city in the world, Leptis Magna was the birthplace of Emperor Septimius Severus who lavished it with the grandest public buildings of the Roman world — a vast new forum, basilica, triumphal arch, nymphaeum, harbour and theatre. The seaside location adds a dramatic backdrop to ruins that still stand to remarkable height.
