EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent theatre of Sabratha, a once-thriving Roman city in Libya. Dating back to the 1st-3rd centuries AD, this ancient architectural marvel stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Roman civilization. Among all surviving Roman theatres, Sabratha's is hailed as one of the finest examples. Immersed in history and culture, this archaeological site has been meticulously restored by Italian archaeologists since the 1920s. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring life to its weathered stone structure, allowing us to envision how it must have looked during its prime. The theatre's seating arrangement reflects an era when performing arts held great significance for society. It served as a hub for entertainment and cultural gatherings where plays, music performances, and other artistic expressions flourished. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Vivienne Sharp with sharp precision (no pun intended), we are transported back through time to witness the splendor of ancient Rome in Africa. This image not only celebrates architecture but also serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage that transcends borders and spans centuries.
