Leptis Magna, also spelled Lepcis Magna, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa in the Tripolitania region of Libya.

Roman theater.

Understand

In 1994 a new excavation of part of the site was started by a team of professional archaeologists from a variety of academic and research institutes around the United Kingdom. Led by Dr. Hafed Walda of Kings College London, and sponsored by the Society for Libyan Studies (established as a British Institute Abroad in 1969 and based at the Institute of Archaeology in London), this team has been conducting excavations of a building by the theatre for two seasons. Supposed to be the largest of the Roman Ruins in Libya, it is also called Lubda in Arabic.

gollark: The implications are problematic.

gollark: I was thinking that instead of just "pay site thing, get thing out from it", you would do "show site that you own coin of value X, get thing, give site thing", but then I realized that that would actually allow the person spending the coin to *not* transfer the apiocash.

gollark: As a double spend mitigation thing it might be good to have the hash incorporate the time in some way.

gollark: osmarkscoin™ would have the *additional* feature of coin info lookup by hash, so that you can *show* that you own a coin.
