Abstract

0This research examines agricultural establishments and their economic and cultural role in the ancient city of Leptis Magna, focusing on olive presses, grain mills, and winemaking. These establishments were among the most important productive activities that contributed to population stability and economic prosperity. Olive presses were essential for producing oil used for food, lighting, and religious rituals, while grain mills played a pivotal role in providing flour for bread, the staple food of the population. Vine cultivation and winemaking also represented significant agricultural and commercial activities, linked to local consumption and trade with neighboring regions. The research highlights the architectural and technical aspects of these establishments, illustrating the development of production methods and the use of natural resources, reflecting the level of economic progress and social organization during those periods. It also underscores the historical and archaeological significance of these establishments as tangible evidence of economic and agricultural life, making their study essential for understanding the economic structure of Leptis Magna and its cultural impact on the region.
