AFRICA'S JEWEL LEPTIS MAGNA (Feb, 2008)

Ready for an adventure? Then this is the issue for you. DIG traveled this month to northern Africa, to the present-day country of Libya, and you will be astounded at the well-preserved remains we saw at Leptis Magna. Why did the Romans take such a great interest in the city? Yes, location played a role, but there was one Roman emperor who had a special interest in Leptis Magna. Who and why? The issue will tell all - even about the "Hunting Baths." Why did it fall? That's in the issue, too - including the facts about a river that decided it did not want its course diverted away from the city. DIG's sure you'll never forget this site - one of the best preserved anywhere.
