Overhead view of the port and warehouses of Leptis Magna. The drawing is in landscape format, organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
Ships are moored on the eastern quays. Workers are loading and unloading cargo. The two boats shown here are carrying a cargo of amphorae. On the boat on the right, a ramp between the stern and the quay is used for loading and unloading. The warehouses are in the background. Galleries on two levels provide access to the storerooms.
