Uma pequena Roma no Norte da África uma análise de Leptis Magna

Leptis Magna, an archaeological site in Libya, was strategically developed under Emperor Augustus' reign to mirror the architectural and urban planning ideals of Rome. This transformation aimed to create a 'Little Rome' in North Africa, reflecting the cultural and political ambitions of the Roman Empire during its expansion. The study analyzes the historical and philosophical representations embedded in Leptis Magna's design, revealing how it served as both a symbol of Roman power and a model for urban development in the region. By examining architectural elements, city planning, and discourse, the research sheds light on the complex interplay between political strategy and cultural identity in ancient Rome.
