Leptis Magna: Arch of Septimius Severus (modern restoration with original fragments, 3rd century A.D.) Septimius Severus, a Roman emperor, was born in Leptis Magna. Leptis is Libya's Pompeii, minus the volcanic preservation, a well-preserved Roman metropolis about thirty miles west of Tripoli. Buried under the Roman city is the original, and smaller, Phoenician settlement of the 7th century B.C.
