One of the local inhabitants at Leptis Magna in Libya. This one was quite the model, and was very happy to show off her piercing! / A funny story behind the scenes for this image. I was knealing down framing shots (and oblivious to anything else), when i heard my local driver call out to me from afar “Craig, look out”! Just as i heard that, i turned and there was a big bull camel about 5 feet behind me! He snorted and i nearly fell over ;-0. I backed away slowly from him and his girlfriends (much to the delight of my driver). / . /

As I walked amongst the ruins of Leptis Magna, I kept thinking how amazing it must have been to see it in all its glory! And I wondered if the people of the time took this amazing place for granted as is often the case nowdays with all the wonderful things that nature (and human) has to offer? /

Another view of the ancient theatre at the ruins of eptis Magna. Although this has not been restored as much as the Theatre at Sabratha it still is magnificent! I thought I would try an old feel to this one! I hope i have done it justice? /
-
Looking down across the theatre stage from the seats where many a Roman would have been cheering and laughing, and perhaps even crying at the performances that would have been something to witness! /
-
One of the many paved ancient streets of Leptis Magna. Imagine how rough and uncomfortable this must have been traveling along in a chariot or wagon? /
-
Beyond this doorway is a sort of bath in the shape of a cross. It was apparently used for baptisms but to me it looked rather sinister! Again, the workmanship you can see here is just amazing. The bricks would have all been cut by hand and they are so symetrical. And the intricate work around the door is just awesome. /

One of the best preserved greek temples situated in Sicily Valley of the temples in Agrigento is the Temple of Concordia (though archaeologists believe this attribution to be incorrect). The temple is remarkably intact, due to its having been converted into a Christian church in 597 CE. Both were constructed to a peripteral hexastyle design.

Agrigento (Girgenti in Sicilian) is a city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy, and capital of the province of Agrigento. It is renowned as the site of the ancient Greek city of Akragras (a.k.a. Acragas in Greek, Agrigentum in Latin, and Kerkent in Arabic), one of the leading cities of Magna Graecia during the golden age of Ancient Greece.Agrigento was founded on a plateau overlooking the sea, with two nearby rivers, the Hypsas and the Akragas, and a ridge to the north offering a degree of natural fortification. Its establishment took place around 582-580 BC and is attributed to Greek colonists from Gela, who named it Akragas. The meaning of the word is unclear, though the stock commonplace referred to an eponymous legendary founder, an Akragante, apparently no more than a retrospective myth for an obscure name.Akragas grew rapidly, becoming one of the richest and most famous of the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia. It came to prominence under the sixth-century tyrants Phalaris and Theron, and became a democracy after the overthrow of Theron’s son Thrasydaeus. Although the city remained neutral in the conflict between Athens and Syracuse, its democracy was overthrown when the city was sacked by the Carthaginians in 406 BC. Akragas never fully recovered its former status, though it revived to some extent under Timoleon in the latter part of the fourth century.Ancient Akragas covers a huge area — much of which is still unexcavated today — but is exemplified by the famous Valle dei Templi (“Valley of the Temples”, a misnomer, as it is a ridge, rather than a valley). This comprises a large sacred area on the south side of the ancient city where seven monumental Greek temples in the Doric style were constructed during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Now excavated and partially restored, they constitute some of the largest and best-preserved ancient Greek buildings outside of Greece itself. They are listed as a World Heritage Site.
