Septimius Severus, Rome's first African emperor.  Born in Leptis Magna, he ended the civil war that erupted following Commodus' death during the Year of the Five Emperors, restoring order to the Empire, cowing the Senate, strengthening the borders, and ushering in a new era of warrior-emperors just in time for the Crisis of the Third Century that would shortly bring Rome to her knees.  Rome wouldn't look this good again for A LONG TIME.  Pretty impressive resume, except for the whole dying-and-leaving-the-Empire-to-Caracalla bit.

Guest artist ANNA BARHAM joins artist JILLIAN KNIPE to discuss her art practice via 'Companion Piece' by Ali Smith. Published in 2023 by Penguin Books, the novel explores language, meaning, relationships and contemporary politics in what may be seen as a way of bringing a form of conclusion to Smith's urgently written then quickly published, seasonal texts: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. ANNA and Jillian's discussion encompasses disfluencies, purity, transcription software, unfolding meanings, easy solutions, social spaces, silent conversations, showing off, undermining binary, performing language and dog eyebrows. As well as the body in the digital, pushing language around, stories being questions, and the pain of a pain within another body.

Today the archaeologist and executive director of World Monuments Fund, John Darlington, takes us on a dramatic trip back to the 1690s to witness a devastating earthquake in the Caribbean. Scroll down, too, for news of a special discount code. *** After its capture by the English in 1655, Port Royal, Jamaica, became a place of great significance. Home to around 6,500 people by the 1690s, it was known variously as 'the fairest town of all the English plantations' and the ‘richest and wickedest city in the New World'. Everything, though, changed on the morning of 7 June 1692 when an earthquake struck the town. Two thirds of Port Royal sunk immediately into the sea. Sand liquefied. Ships capsized and one was lifted over rooftops by the subsequent tsunami. It was a blow from which the town would never recover. Today Port Royal is a small fishing village. The ruined remains of its heyday survive under the sea.   Our guide on this dangerous journey back in time is the celebrated archaeologist John Darlington whose ‘obsession with ruinous and abandoned places' began as a baby being pushed around the ruins of Leptis Magna in his pram. Darlington currently works for the World Monuments Fund, and his new book Amongst The Ruins, Why Civilisations Collapse and Communities Disappear is published today by Yale University Press. In it, he tells the stories of lost places as diverse as ancient Assyria and twentieth century St Kilda, grouping them around five themes, before offering some ideas for how this kind of destruction can be avoided in the future. *** SPECIAL OFFER for listeners: to get 20% off John Darlington's Amongst The Ruins, Why Civilisations Collapse and Communities Disappear (just £20 with free postage and packing) head to the Yale website and enter the code RUINS . Valid from 11 April to 30 June and for UK orders only. For more, as ever, visit our website: tttpodcast.com. Show notes Scene One: 6 June 1692. Merchants, slaves, pirates and priests throng the heady streets of Port Royal, where there is one alehouse for every ten people. Huge ships arrive leaden with luxuries, docking in the deep-water harbour of the town, which is built on a fragile series of coral islands. Scene Two: 7 June 1692. The Reverend Emmanuel Heath sits down with his friend John White, acting Governor of Jamaica, to enjoy a glass of wormwood wine. An earthquake strikes the city followed by a tsunami, sucking entire streets into the liquified sand, throwing ships over the collapsing buildings and ejecting corpses from graves. Scene Three: 8 June 1692. The survivors survey the hellish remains of their city, most of which has disappeared under the sea or lies in ruins. A series of aftershocks cause more destruction and death, meanwhile diseases like Cholera begin to take hold, killing thousands more in the days to come. Memento: A French pocket watch excavated from the under-sea ruins of the city, stopped at 11.40am on 7 June, the moment the earthquake struck.

What is something in your life you would sacrifice everything for? What if music was taken away from you? In this week's episode, we landed in our second country, Libya and we cover the brave and recent music revolution against Mu'ammar Al-Qadhdhāfī's reign. I do not want politics to be a theme in this podcast, because I believe there is so much more to a country and its' people than its political leaders. With that said we are here for incredible stories and we should cover and learn about these brave musicians and freedom fighters who risked everything for music and their country. I got this story from the documentary Stronger Than Bullets. I highly recommend it. You can find it on Amazon and Vudu.

Togolese women say they're fending off more sexist cyberbullying than ever before. Also, we report on the female construction workers helping change the landscape of Central African Republic. Finally, Leptis Magna was once one of the most beautiful cities of the Roman Empire, but today the Libyan ruins are on UNESCO's list of at-risk heritage sites.

Rematamos hoy la trilogía dedicada al África romana con este episodio especial dedicado a Leptis Magna. Famosa por ser el lugar de nacimiento del emperador Septimio Severo, Leptis Magna era algo más que una pequeña ciudad provinciana. Enclavada en el corazón de Tripolitania, en el golfo de Sirte, esta ciudad fue uno de los núcleos urbanos costeros más boyantes de toda África. Fundada como emporio comercial por los Fenicios más de 4 siglos antes de que naciera la ciudad de Roma, fue concebida, en principio, como un puerto que hacía las veces de escala entre el Nilo y la actual región tunecina, que incluye Cartago. Sin embargo, esta posición intermedia, y a pesar de no contar con un entorno excesivamente favorable, permitió a Leptis adquirir una importancia comercial muy notable que aumentará con la llegada del imperio romano que permitirá a Leptis Magna gozar de una ubicación privilegiada entre Alejadría y Cartago por un lado, y entre el sur de Italia y las caravanas del Sahara. Esta situación permite a Leptis crecer a lo largo de los siglos y desarrollar una fisonomía urbana boyante, casi ostentosa. Dos foros, una espectacular basílica, el circo más grande de África, anfiteatro, teatro, varios mercados, grandes avenidas porticadas y unas lujosas termas. Grandes construcciones que son testigos elocuentes de la existencia de una opulenta clase aristocrática, hija del comercio y mimada por los sucesivos emperadores que a lo largo de los siglos I, II y III han desfilado por los mármoles de Roma. Un paseo por la evolución política, económica y arquitectónica de esta ciudad que, en los albores del siglo IV entrará en una fase de irremediable decadencia agravada por una serie de desastres naturales, crisis económicas e invasiones, que llevarán a su práctica desaparición en los siglos V, VI y VII (invadida por vándalos, romanos de oriente y luego por los árabes). Abandonada por ello a su suerte tras el siglo VIII, Leptis sucumbe a las arenas del desierto, que la engullen literalmente y sucumbe también, igualmente a las arenas del tiempo, que son también las del olvido. Rescatada en el siglo XX por un ejército de expoliadores, arqueólogos y pronto curiosos visitantes, turistas y estudiosos, vuelve Leptis Magna a la vida. Hoy, en EODR hablamos de Leptis Magna y descubrimos, para vosotros, todos sus secretos. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Leptis Magna became a celebrated Roman city on the African shore and was the birthplace of the Emperor Septimius Severus. In this episode I chat with special guest Maria Lloyd all about how the city developed and grew. We then discuss Severus, how did he rise to power and what did he do? Politics, intrigue, betrayal and even whether it's Leptis or Lepcis. We cover loads -  so get listening! Music by Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental).

Mitt i mörkaste december kommer här ett avsnitt som handlar om några olika saker - det handlar om den enorma romerska handeln med olivolja, det handlar om den dramatiske romerska kejsaren Septimius Severus och det handlar om en 35 meter hög kulle mitt i Rom bestående av kraschade lerkrus. Vad är den gemensamma nämnaren frågar ni er, jo det är den nordafrikanska staden Leptis Magna (i dagens Libyen) som under några år blommade upp som en av Roms mest dynamiska - allt finansierat av oljepengar.

Episode 26 Claire Mead is an English/French freelance curator with museums and heritage sites specialising in making collections and programming more inclusive, specifically in terms of women's narratives and LGBTQI narratives. Claire also fences with foil and longsword. Since recording the episode she has taken the post of Programme Manager at the National Videogame Museum. In this episode we have a fascinating conversation about how a traditionally white, male perspective of history has overlooked many women, people of colour and those from the LGBTQI community. Did you know that one of the foremost fencers of the 18th century was black, and another was trans? I mention two African-born emperors of Rome. These are: Lucius Septimius Severus, who was a Roman emperor from 193 to 211. He was born in Leptis Magna, at that time a Roman province in Africa. His eldest son, Lucius Septimius Bassianus, commonly known as Caracalla, was Emperor from 211 to 217. In the second half of the podcast we talk about Claire's webcomic The Girls' School of Knighthood and also discuss depictions of women holding swords in art, particularly Judith slaying Holofernes.

How did the Phoenician port of Leptis Magna come to be in a grassy garden in Surrey, England where it would become known as the Folly of Augustus? Also, Rathlin Island is in the news — but where is it? And why would Rathlin be a great location for your next fantasy fiction title?

The team are back to discuss Ancient Warfare Magazine XIII.3 The Rise of Septimius Severus. 'Septimius Severus, also known as Severus, was Roman emperor from 193 to 211. He was born in Leptis Magna in the Roman province of Africa. As a young man he advanced through the customary succession of offices under the reigns of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. Severus seized power after the death of Emperor Pertinax in 193 during the Year of the Five Emperors.'  

Tripolis a Leptis Magna bez turistov, stretnutie so sultánom, neuveriteľný festival neviazanej dámskej volenky v Nigeri. Alebo ako píše Ľuboš Fellner: „Predvčerom som doletel z Líbye, kde vrcholí občianska vojna. Na tejto ceste ma spevádzali ozbrojenci s guľometmi a RPG (mínometomi), prechádzali sme krížom Saharou v Nigeri a Alžírsku na miestach, kde sídli Al Káida a Boko Haram. Každopádne som takto po 30 rokoch intenzívneho cestovania prešiel všetky kontinety od severného po južný pol a všetky krajiny sveta. A prešiel som ich poriadne. Za to som veľmi vďačný. Mal som tú možnosť začať cestovať oveľa skôr než iní, a tak som mal šancu precestovať oveľa viac, čo som aj využil...“​

So close to the tourist trail, yet so far, Libya sits on the Mediterranean yet has been isolated for decades by poverty, dictatorship and civil war.  But should peace return, Leptis Magna is the jewel in Libya's crown: potentially the largest and best preserved Roman city in the Mediterranean.  With a resplendent forum, theater, basilica, harbor, amphitheater, and especially, a colossal arch, Leptis is an unvisited gem. Leptis' golden age came under the leadership of local-boy-made-good Septimius Severus.  To help tell the story of how a lad from Leptis became ruler of the "known world," Rob and Jamie from the Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium podcast stop by.   Not only do we talk about Severus and the disastrous emperor who preceded him (Didius Julianus), but we also discuss Severus' evil son Caracalla.  Evil.  Oh so evil. No discussion of Libya would be complete without discussing the cuisine: a blend of North African and Middle Eastern, highlighted by couscous. This isn't your store-bought fluffy cardboard; we'll be properly steaming it this time.  

Some of the best-preserved Roman ruins on the Mediterranean, Leptis Magna was founded in the 7th century BC and was always a hot spot for activity and war.

Professor Kleiner discusses two Roman cities in North Africa: Timgad and Leptis Magna. Timgad was created as an entirely new colony for Roman army veterans by Trajan in A.D. 100, and designed all at once as an ideal castrum plan. Leptis Magna, conversely, grew more gradually from its Carthaginian roots, experiencing significant Roman development under Augustus and Hadrian. Septimius Severus, the first Roman emperor from North Africa, was born at Leptis and his hometown was renovated in connection with his historic visit to the city. This large-scale program of architectural expansion features the Severan Forum and Basilica and the nearby Arch of Septimius Severus, a tetrapylon or four-sided arch located at the crossing of two major streets. The lecture culminates with the unique Hunting Baths, a late second or early third-century structure built for a group of entrepreneurs who supplied exotic animals to Rome's amphitheaters. Its intimate vaulted spaces are revealed on the outside of the building and silhouetted picturesquely against the sea, suggesting that the bath's owners knew how to innovate through concrete architecture and how to enjoy life.
