Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania

The Roman Empire stretched over large parts of what is now known as the Middle East and into Africa. In the modern country of Libya, a region known as Tripolitania covers much of the area once occupied by the Romans and, though the region is no longer defined as an administrative province, it has been used to demark the geographical borders of textual material collected for this archive.

This collection is concerned with inscriptions on public monuments, such as panels, altars, slabs and statue bases and includes pagan and Christian texts in full and fragment form and in various texts.

How can this collection be used in teaching, studying and research?

This is a specialist collection for those with an interest in studying, teaching or researching the Roman Empire, Middle Eastern Studies, the history of religion and the wider history of the world in the first millennium after Christ.

Introductory essays are available and the collection can be searched or browsed by a variety of routes, including a map search.
