Writing of things one misses, I was in Libya/Abisinnia 1962 thru 1965 and would visit Leptis Magna Sabratha and downtown Tripoli.I recall that at the port in Tripoli there was a huge statue of Romulus and Remus. In the international swapping of looted artifacts, do you folks have any information as the current location of that statue? BTW, IMHO, Khadaffi had no role in the destruction of the Marble(sandstone) Arch housing the bronze statue of the Felini twins. More likely US Special Ops "contractors" operating from helicopters.I passed under the monument many times as a member of the US Mapping mission.
