EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction of Byrsa Hill, an integral part of the ancient Punic civilization. The late 4th to 2nd century B. C. fresco, skillfully created by architect J. M. Gassend, transports us back in time to witness the grandeur and ingenuity of this lost city. The image features a panoramic view of the Punic city and Hannibal's circular harbor, capturing the essence of this once-thriving port in Carthage, Tunisia. Its Phoenician roots are evident in the intricate architecture that adorns every building exterior on Byrsa Hill. As we delve into history through this horizontal composition, we are reminded of the rich archaeological significance that lies within these ruins. The sailboats gracefully dotting the nautical vessel-filled harbor evoke images of bustling trade routes and travel destinations from centuries past. With no people present in this scene, our imagination is left to wander freely amidst remnants of an era long gone—the silent witnesses to a bygone age preserved for eternity on canvas. Byrsa Hill's prominence during ancient Rome further underscores its historical importance as it stands as a testament to human resilience and cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. This awe-inspiring illustration and painting serve as a visual portal connecting us with antiquity—a vivid reminder that even though time may pass, fragments from our past continue to shape our understanding of who we are today.
