EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of ancient history, showcasing a Roman legionary on sentry duty from Trajan's column. Erected by the esteemed Emperor Trajan between 106 and 113 AD, this magnificent column was carved in low relief to depict the narrative of his two successful campaigns in Dacia. The intricate details etched into the stone tell tales of war, bravery, and triumph. What makes this image even more intriguing is that it now features a statue of St Peter atop the column. This addition adds an interesting layer to its historical significance, blending both ancient Roman culture with later Christian influences. The craftsmanship displayed in this photograph is truly awe-inspiring. Every line and curve has been meticulously carved to bring life to each scene depicted on the column's surface. It serves as a testament to the skill and dedication of those who created it centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of ancient Rome.
