(April 11, 145 - February 4, 211), The twenty-first Roman Emperor (193-211) was born in the city of Leptis Magna, the capital of the Tripoli Province at the time (one of the cities in western Libya now), which was then considered part of the Roman province of Africa, in the year 193 during the year known as the Year of the Five Emperors.
