			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leptis Magna is commonly known as Lectis Magna or many times spelled as Lepcis Magna, it is also popular as Lpqy as well as the Neapolis, was an important city during the Roman Empire.

Carthage ruled the region in the fourth century BC. Till the third Punic war which took place in 146 BC, Leptis Magna was the part of the Carthage’s empire. From 200 BC Leptis <a href="http://www.theearthtraveler.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Leptis-Magna.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-811" style="padding:3px;" title="Leptis Magna" src="http://www.theearthtraveler.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Leptis-Magna-682x1024.jpg" alt="Leptis Magna" width="268" height="403" /></a>Magna was known for being an important and independent city. During this period it came under the rule of the Roman Empire.</p>
<p>During the rule of the roman emperor Tiberius, Leptis Magna as well as its neighboring areas as well as adjacent provinces were formally as part of the emperor also it was declared as a province of the Africa region. Sooner Leptis Magna became a important city as well as a trading post of the Roman African region.</p>
<p>Leptis Magna became more important city in the early of 193 BC when the rule of Lucius Septimius Severus. Leptis Magna was his hometown.

The drawings on the mosaic are stated as one the unique representation of the mosaic art. It was a masterpiece in its own way. Originally the mosaic was found in the year 2000 but it was not disclosed to the world due to the fear of the looting. The mosaic is currently kept in the display in the museum of Leptis Magna.</p>
<p>Few parts of the age-old temple were brought to the Fort Belvedere which is a royal house which is located in England in the year 1818. Also it lies in the fraction of Windsor Great Park.
