Tripoli. Libya. View of the four-way triumphal Arch of Marcus Aurelius which is Tripoli’s only substantial reminder of the former ancient Roman classical city of Oea. Built around AD164 and dedicated to the co-emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus the impressive marble Arch stands at the entrance to the ancient city beside the harbour and is at the junction of the cardo maximus and decumanus which were the two most important roads of the ancient Roman city. Appearing sunken and shadowed by a palm tree, the Arch actually stands at the original level of the ancient city.
