EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Arch of Hadrian in Jerash, Jordan. Dating back to the second half of the first century AD, this ancient city experienced a period of great prosperity. The Emperor Trajan's construction of roads in AD 106 brought increased trade and wealth to Jerash. In AD 129-130, Emperor Hadrian himself graced Jerash with his presence, leaving behind a lasting symbol of his visit - the magnificent Arch of Hadrian. This triumphal arch was erected as a celebration and tribute to his time spent there. What makes this arch truly remarkable is its Latin inscription, which commemorates a religious dedication by members of the imperial mounted bodyguard who were stationed in Jerash during their winter retreats. It serves as an enduring testament to both the power and influence that Rome held over this region during ancient times. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring out every intricate detail of this architectural marvel. From its towering columns to its grandeur reminiscent of an ancient theatre building, it transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and opulence that once defined this thriving civilization. Nick Brundle Photography has masterfully immortalized this piece of history through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate and admire the rich heritage left behind by our ancestors.
