    Near the Sahara, at least, none south of the Atlas Mountains it would seem, which makes sense. I’m actually not sure if there were any literal coloniae in Egypt due to its… unique provincial position as a personal holding of the Emperor. I know Aswan was major and pretty far south though.

      I turned up that they did some serious construction in Farafra. Would that have been considered Libya, or Egypt?

        Egypt, looks like! Roman Egypt roughly had the same borders as modern Egypt, with Cyrenaica being on the border with Libya, and modern-day Libya being, well, Libya, and Africa Proconsularis.
