Tripolitania

Tripolitania extends along the Mediterranean coast of Libya, encompassing three ancient cities: Oea, Sabratha, and Leptis Magna within its territory.

The region became part of the Roman Empire in 146 BCE, following the defeat of Carthage, and remained under Roman control until the Vandal conquest in 435 CE.

The native Berber population maintained their traditions while incorporating influences from Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Ottoman settlers throughout different historical periods.

Modern Tripolitania contains major urban centers including Tripoli, Misrata, and Zawiya, connected by a network of coastal highways and Mediterranean ports.

The Great Man-Made River project in Tripolitania channels water from underground aquifers through concrete pipes to supply agricultural and urban areas.
