A few letters that I know some people read me obliquely.<\/p>\n<p>The Third Augustan Legion had Africa as its theatre of operations and its central base was the city of Leptis Magna, the birthplace of Septimus Severus, the most important port in Libya. From there the Roman legionaries conquered North Africa, subdued Numidians, Mauretanians, Atarantes and Garamantes, entered through Murzuq and even reached the kingdom of Hausa on Lake Chad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3700 size-full\" title=\"\u00a9DESERTANDO \" src=\"http:\/\/desertando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/desertando-leptis-magna-3b-1.jpg\" alt=\"Libia - Leptis Magna\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desertando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/desertando-leptis-magna-3b-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/desertando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/desertando-leptis-magna-3b-1-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/desertando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/desertando-leptis-magna-3b-1-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/desertando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/desertando-leptis-magna-3b-1-700x334.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With such a history, it is hard to see the detour sign to the city and not go in to see it.
