Leptis Magna, located in Al-Khums, Libya, is one of the most well-preserved and impressive ancient Roman cities in the Mediterranean. Founded by the Phoenicians around the 7th century BC, it flourished under Roman rule, particularly during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who was born there. The city's extensive ruins include a magnificent theater, a large basilica, an impressive marketplace, and well-preserved baths. The architectural grandeur and the sheer scale of the ruins provide a fascinating glimpse into the urban planning and architectural prowess of the Roman Empire.
