La Libye antique

Sintes, Claude, La Libye antique, Paris, Editions Gallimard, 2004 (Découvertes Gallimard Archéologie ; 460).

For most of their history, the peoples of Libya have been subjected to varying degrees of foreign control. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, and Byzantines ruled all or parts of Libya. Although the Greeks and Romans left impressive ruins at Cyrene, Leptis Magna, Sabratha and Ghirza, little else remains today to testify to the presence of these ancient cultures.
