EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Caius Cestus pyramid standing tall alongside the historic gate, known as Porta San Paolo, at the edge of Rome's Testaccio quarter. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and artistry of ancient Rome during the Augustan Period. Dating back to around 12-13 AD, this photograph allows us to glimpse into a bygone era of European history and witness firsthand the grandeur of Roman civilization. The pyramid itself is an impressive commemorative structure that serves as a testament to Rome's rich cultural heritage. The surrounding area is filled with archaeological sites, monuments, and complexes that speak volumes about the city's glorious past. Towering above them all is Porta San Paolo, a military defensive gateway that once protected this vibrant urban landscape. As we take in this panoramic view of Rome from decades ago, we are transported back in time to witness a bustling street scene filled with action and life. The streets are alive with people going about their daily routines against a backdrop of architectural wonders. Anderson's skillful composition brings out every intricate detail - from building elements to decorative sections - highlighting both the beauty and complexity of Roman architecture. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Europe's ancient civilizations that have shaped our world today.
