Decoding the Desert : Goodchild: Tripolitania, Roman forts and settlements

Decoding the Desert

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Lantern slides bordered with black tape and labelled with numbers on white stickers on the bottom corners. Many were taken by Goodchild during his explorations in inland Tripolitania during 1946-9, with the exception of two pertaining to Arae Philaenorum from 1950-1. Mostly site photographs, both aerial and ground-level, of various Roman forts and settlements throughout Tripolitania. Many photographs emphasise details in Roman masonry and architectural elements and can be found in various articles published between 1948-1954. There are also several diagrams pertaining to Leptis Magna, as well as site photographs taken during the restoration of Sabratha Amphitheatre between 1927-1937 which Goodchild here reproduced.</p>
