Roman policy in the Romanization of the Three Cities “Leptis Magna, Oia, Siburata” (47 ق.م – 235 م)

Abstract

The Romans made a Romanization of the three cities upon their subjugation, as they followed the gradual policy of imposing the Roman order on these cities and spreading the Roman culture in them until they were imbued with Roman culture and became civilized cities similar to the city of Rome, and they also followed the policy of establishing municipalities to prevent tribes from migrating and encourage them to settle. The position of the local population differed between a metropolitan saturated with Roman culture and a refusal who adheres to the local Punic culture, and this research aims to shed light on the three cities, and to identify the systems established by the Romans for the Romanization of the region and the population's position on the Romanization policy followed by the Romans, where the researcher relied on the historical method Analytical narrative. The research concluded that the three cities were colored with Romanian tones, and the villages and tribes near the three cities maintained their traditional lifestyle.
