EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the ancient city of Ostia Antica, the bustling port of Rome in Italy. Taken by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this image captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of a location that dates back to the 2nd-3rd century. The focal point of this photograph is a magnificent theatre, originally built during the 1st century BC and later rebuilt in 196. Its weathered columns stand as silent witnesses to centuries of history and cultural exchange. Surrounding it are deserted streets and lanes, once filled with merchants from all corners of the Roman Empire engaged in vibrant trade. Ostia Antica itself is an extensive archaeological site situated near modern-day Ostia. This ghost town was once a thriving harbor city that played a crucial role in ancient Rome's maritime activities. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone, where echoes of footsteps on its Roman roads can almost be heard. CM Dixon's masterful composition captures both the architectural splendor and desolate atmosphere that define Ostia Antica today. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations while highlighting their enduring legacy.
