sorry double post
"The Romans conquered Tripolitania (the region around Tripoli) in 106 BC. Ptolemy Apion, the last Greek ruler, bequeathed Cyrenaica to Rome, which formally annexed the region in 74 BC and joined it to Crete as a Roman province. By 64 BC Julius Ceasar's legions had established their occupation, and the Romans had thus unified all three regions of Libya in one single new province called Africa proconsularis. (...) As a Roman province, Libya was prosperous, and reached a golden age in the 2nd century AD (...) Tripolitania and Cyrenaica were wealthy Roman provinces and part of a cosmopolitan state where citizens shared a common language, legal system, and Roman identity. Roman ruins like those of Leptis Magna, extant is present-day Libya, attest to the vitality of the region. where populous cities and even smaller towns enjoyed the amenities of urban life, the forum, markets, public entertainments, and baths found in every corner of the Roman Empire."
