The Theatre
Leptis Magna contains an excellent example of an early Roman theatre. Built in 1-2 AD and improved under Caracalla, the theatre is one of the largest in the world, holding up to 5,000 spectators.

The Palaestrum
During our time in Libya, military restrictions meant that we did not have access to the palaestrum (sports ground) area at Leptis. The best we could manage was to view the area from other points at the site.
