EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the Pilasters of the Severan Basilica in Leptis Magna, Libya. Dating back to 216 AD, these pilasters are a remarkable testament to the architectural prowess of Roman emperor Severus (Lucius Septimius Severus), who hailed from this very land. The attention to detail in this carving is truly awe-inspiring. Each pillar tells a story through its expertly chiseled motifs and patterns, transporting us back to an era when religion held great significance in daily life. The temple built by Severus stands as a symbol of his devotion and power, reflecting both his Libyan heritage and his role as a Roman leader. Located within an archaeological site that exudes history at every turn, these pillars stand tall against the backdrop of ancient Rome's influence on Africa. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring forth a sense of vitality that has withstood centuries. Photographer Vivienne Sharp skillfully captures the sharp lines and contours of each stone column, emphasizing their strength and durability. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations.
