This study is sheds light on the corrosion as manifestation of the chemical weathering phenomena on vine and grapes carved Frieze from Romano-Libyan settlement of Ghirza. The Frieze, which has exhibited in Lebda Museum, is dating back to the settlement period of the 4th century AD.The scientific orientation study goal to shown up the corrosion estate that has effected in Frieze façade. The Meta field study and the scientific laboratory such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy (BSE) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) are methods that utilized to define deterioration and harmful forms, as well as to reveal how far a stone decay extended to in both extrinsic and intrinsic stone texture, before and after weathering effect. In addition, to find out the role of climate of the surrounding environment whether the Microclimate or Macroclimate in Ghirza settlement where the Frieze had discovered. All study's results have shown that the corrosion estate attributed to chemical weathering, which directly effected in Chemical and mineralogical composition of the Frieze that carved of Marl Limestone, thus effected in artistic sculptures which dating back to the 4th century AD.
