Leptis Magna remained as such until the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius, when the city and the surrounding area were formally incorporated into the empire as part of the province of Africa. By the 6th century, the city was fully Christianized.[11][failed verification] During the decade 565–578 AD Christian missionaries from Leptis Magna even began to move once more among the Berber tribes as far south as the Fezzan in the Libyan desert and converted the Garamantes.[12] Numerous new churches were built in the 6th century,[13] but the city continued to decline, and by the time of the Arab conquest around 647 the city was mostly abandoned except for a Byzantine garrison force and a population of less than 1,000 inhabitants. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2071.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2071.txt
