Lepcis Magna werd het bekendst onder de regering van keizer Septimius Severus (r.193-211). Deze was geboren in deze stad in het jaar 145. Deze ereboog werd door zijn stadsgenoten opgericht bij zijn troonsbestijging.

Septimius Severus breidde de stad uit en begon een groots bouwproject om de stad te verfraaien. Hij liet de hele haven herbouwen met een dam en twee grote reservoirs om overstromingen tegen te gaan. Ook werd er een tempel voor Jupiter aangelegd die uitkeek over de haven. Hij liet ook een forum met basilica aanleggen. Er werd een weg aangelegd die de haven verbond met de haven, deze weg was maar liefst 366 meter lang, 21 meter breed en volledig omgeven met een colonnade. Septimius liet ook de Limes Tripolitanus uitbreiden.¹

Lucius Septimius Severus was a Roman Emperor born in Leptis Magna who reigned 193 until his death in 211. The citizens of Leptis probably started the construction immediately after their fellow citizen had become emperor. The central scene on the arch shows the emperor shaking hands with his sons, Caracalla and Geta.
