Description
View of the stage and background area of the theater at Leptis Magna in Libya. "Like so many Greek and Roman towns, Lepcis Magna had a theater. It was partly financed by a man named Annobal Tapapius Rufus, who had earlier built the city's market, the Macellum. The theater, the oldest of Roman Africa, was partly excavated from a low hill, which had until then been used as a cemetery ... The monument was completed in 1 or 2 CE, but there were later additions,"--Livius.org
