Libue was a mountainous region of Libya, located north of the region of Siwa–in Egypt–and south of the Green Mountains region of Cyrenaica.

It also served as a buffer between the borders of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Cyrenaica, which was under the jurisdiction of the Roman Republic.
History[edit | edit source]
In 49 BCE, it was through this region that the pharaoh Ptolemy XIII and his entourage passed through in order to reach Siwa.[1]
Two years later, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa passed through Libue during his pursuit of Flavius Metellus, who was the Roman consul of Cyrenaica, the leader of the Order of the Ancients, and the man most directly responsible for the death of Bayek's son Khemu.[2]
Around 38 BCE, Bayek, by then a Hidden One, received a papyrus from a messenger of the royal scribe Otis, informing him of a Roman general planning to invade Egypt. Following Otis' directions, Bayek infiltrated the Saragina Camp in Libue, where he assassinated Adras, a Ptolemaic captain secretly working for the general. He then recovered a note detailing the invasion plans.[3]
