Clinging to a thin strip of fertile land between the desert and the sea, the cities came to see themselves as "Rome in Africa, and through ose contact with the civilizations of ancient Greece, Carthage, and Egypt, they created a unique culture. Only Tripoli (ancient Oea) has been continually inhabited: the other cities, devas- tated by earthquakes and fatally weakened by the fall of the Roman empire, were abandoned to the encroaching sands. Major archeological research has now been underway for decades and continues today: there is still much to unearth. The discoveries at these sites offer a unique and fascinating view of both Africa and the Greco-Roman world: entire cities of mar- ble and white sandstone, with theaters and public baths, temples, fine houses decorated with frescoes and mosaics, shops and work- shops, streets lined with porticoes to provide shade from the intense African sun .. all painstakingly restored and documented. The main cities visited are Lepcis, Cyrene, Sabratha, Apollonia, and Ptolemais -------SPEDIZIONE:TUTTE LE SPEDIZIONI SONO TRACCIABILInazionale fino a 5 kg e 5cm di spessore : con poste "piego libri " raccomandata. nazionale con spessore maggiore di 5cm /o + di 5kg: altro corriere tracciabileInternazionali :altro corriere tracciabile******RESPONSABILITÀ: La merce viaggia a rischio e pericolo del destinatario pertanto non mi ritengo responsabile di disservizi postali come smarrimenti o consegne non eseguite.INDIRIZZO DI SPEDIZIONE: riterrò valido l'indirizzo riportato sull'account Ebay del compratore al momento dell'acquistoSPEDIZIONI MULTIPLE: Se interessati a più oggetti di inserzioni separate contattatemi per avere le quota corretta----------, Sehr gut, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice]<
