Abstract

This brief article outlines the history of John Ward-Perkins' involvement with the archaeology of the complex of buildings erected under the Severan dynasty at Lepcis Magna. The detailed survey of those superb monuments by British and Italian scholars has until now not received the level of publication which it merits. As that work finally goes to press, some explanation is given of the problems faced in preparing for publication the archive of drawings.
