EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the remarkable remnants of Maryport (Alavna) Roman fort, standing proudly as a testament to the ancient Roman frontier defences along the picturesque Cumbrian coast. Taken in 2019 by talented photographer Emma Trevarthen, this image showcases the intricate earthwork and architectural features that have withstood the test of time. The scene unfolds with an awe-inspiring view from above, offering a unique perspective on this historical site. The well-preserved remains of the fort reveal its strategic layout and provide insight into its purpose as a military stronghold during Roman times. From this vantage point, one can appreciate how it once commanded authority over these rugged coastal lands. The composition is enhanced by soft sunlight casting shadows upon the earthworks, creating an enchanting interplay between light and shadow. The details captured in this photograph allow us to imagine what life was like within these walls centuries ago – soldiers patrolling their posts, bustling activity within barracks, and perhaps even glimpses of daily life for those who called Alavna home. Emma Trevarthen's skillful eye has expertly conveyed both the grandeur and subtleties of Maryport (Alavna) Roman fort through her lens. This print serves as a visual gateway to history, inviting viewers to explore and appreciate our rich cultural heritage while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
