EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Tony Boxall, a British archaeologist and historian, stands amidst the ruins of an ancient Roman site, deeply engrossed in his research. The image, captured in the 1960s, transports us back in time to an era when the study of history was a more hands-on and exploratory endeavor. Tony Boxall (1922-2010) was a renowned scholar of Roman archaeology and history, with a particular focus on the Roman military. He spent much of his career excavating sites across Europe, from Britain to Italy, and was known for his groundbreaking discoveries and innovative approaches to interpreting the past. In this photograph, Boxall is seen at the ancient Roman fort of Vindolanda, located in what is now Northumberland, England. Vindolanda was an important military outpost during the Roman occupation of Britain, and Boxall's excavations there revealed a wealth of artifacts and insights into the daily life of the Roman soldiers who were stationed there. The ruins of the fort loom in the background of the photograph, their crumbling walls and weathered stones a testament to the passage of time. Boxall's introspective expression and the worn, leather-bound notebook in his hands speak to the dedication and passion that drove him to explore the mysteries of the past. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our historical heritage and the role that scholars like Tony Boxall play in helping us to understand the stories and lessons of the past. It is a powerful image that invites us to reflect on the enduring power of history and the human desire to uncover the secrets of the past.
