Theatre at Leptis Magna Date: 1-2AD (Age of Augustus) Location: Leptis Magna, North Africa Commissioned by: Annobal Rufus, a local merchant. His name appears on an inscription.

When the father of the fatherland, Caesar Augustus, son of the deified [Caesar], was pontifex maximus, vested with the tribunician power for the twenty-fourth time, being consul for the thirteenth time, Annobal Rufus, the adorner of his country and lover of concord, priest, suffete, prefect of the sacred objects, the son of Himilco Tapapius, took care to build this at his own expense, and dedicated it. The Latin text begins with the names and titles of the emperor (in this case Augustus). None of these are given in the Punic text.
