This dataset is one of the constituent elements of the publication Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania (2021), by J. M. Reynolds, C. M. Roueché, G. Bodard, C. Barron and others available at: http://irt2021.inslib.kcl.ac.uk

The majority of the images provided for IRT are those taken by John Ward Perkins in 1948-1952, now held at the British School at Rome, where they can be consulted (https://ipervisions.bsrdigitalcollections.it/irt/). The images here are those which have been added to that collection, largely provided by colleagues who have worked in Tripolitania in the intervening period. The largest number were provided by Ignazio Tantillo (Tantillo.zip) and Francesc Bigi (Bigi.zip) from their work in Lepcis in 2008-2010 (see bibliography); others were provided by Michael Mackensen from his work at Gheriatel-Garbia (Mackensen.zip). The images provided by Philp Kenrick (Kenrick .zip) can also be accessed in the Libyan Studies Photographic Library (https://www.flickr.com/photos/societyforlibyanstudies/albums). The remainder are drawn by the editors from a variety of sources (Miscellaneous.zip)
