Notes
Chaper 8 in Reynolds, IRT: East of Garian the hill-country approaches the sea and merges with the landward territory of Lepcis Magna. The surviving remains attest an intense farming activity, with the olive predominant; and it is almost the only part of the interior from which there are records of mosaic pavements, a sure sign of settled Roman influence. Deforestation and soil-erosion were already problems in Roman times. But despite this, and despite the disorders of the later fourth and fifth centuries, it is clear that, relatively to the coastal cities, this area retained a certain prosperity throughout late classical times.
