Roman civilization’s ruins in Libya.
The Roman civilization’s coverage before was vast. It extended its reign over Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa, and because of this, some infrastructures of the great empire were built all over—and Libya isn’t exempted on that list. The Leptis Magna found in Al Khums, entered the UNESCO World Heritage in 1982, and it has drawn so many visitors due to the fact that the infrastructures that the Romans built had been preserved at almost 80% its original state. The bathrooms are almost intact (although some chipped off already), the theatre still pretty looks the same, and the pillars of the marketplace still stand until today.Photo taken from http://www.flickr.com
