Part of the country that is known as Libya today was part of the Roman province of Cyrene or Cyrenica. It was willed to Rome by Ptolemy Apion, the king of Cyrene, in 96 BC. It was not until 74 BC that Rome took an active interest in the territory.

I'm assuming that you are referring to present day Libya. The country that we call Libya tioday does not have the same borders as the ancient Roman area called Libya. Right next to Egypt, going west, was a small territory called Libya in Roman times. Next to that was an area called Cyrenaica and next to that was Syrtica followed by Tripolitana. Even though these place names are incorporated into modern Libya, in Roman times the borders were different as the Roman only populated the coastal strips and did not go very far into the interior.I'm assuming that you are referring to present day Libya.
