Ancienne colonie ph nicienne devenue romaine au deuxi me si cle avant notre re, Leptis Magna fit fortune gr ce au commerce de l'or, de l'ivoire, des peaux et des esclaves tir s de l'Afrique subsaharienne. Ville natale de l'Empereur Septime S v re, elle atteignit l'apog e de sa renomm e et de sa prosp rit sous le r gne de ce prince (193-211), qui la dota de monuments splendides, dont le plus imposant, la grande basilique s v rienne, s' levait plus de cent pieds de hauteur. partir du troisi me si cle, la crise politique, conomique, sociale et militaire qui d chira l'ensemble du monde romain frappa durement Leptis Magna, victime des incursions des Berb res rebelles, puis envahie et occup e tour tour par les Vandales, les Byzantins et enfin les Arabes au septi me si cle. Ruin e, abandonn e, la cit finit par dispara tre doucement sous les sables du d sert. Aujourd'hui, gr ce aux travaux des arch ologues, cette cit exceptionnelle, encore injustement m connue, conna t un regain d'int r t. Ce livre rend hommage cet ensemble exceptionnel, dont l'oubli par les grands flux touristiques a permis de pr server toutes les traces de sa splendeur. 1700 g. Seller Inventory # 54991
