Resumen:

In the Julio-Claudian period, Lepcis Magna was a ciuitas libera. In theory, the city was free from the intervention of Roman officials, but, as the epigraphic evidence shows, the Roman proconsuls of Africa frequently visited the city and intervened in its urban development –and other civic affairs. The aim of this article is to explain this apparent paradox, analysing the causes and characteristics of the relationship between the free city and the Roman proconsuls.
