EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases the magnificent ruins of the Bouleterion, a civic building from the Hellenistic period in Apollonia, Fier, Albania. Dated to the II century AD, this monumental structure once served as the seat of the city's council, or Boule, and was presided over by the Agonothetes. The Eastern European site, located in modern-day Albania, bears testament to the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Greeks who inhabited this region during the 2nd, 2nd, and 1st centuries BC and AD. The Corinthian architectural style, characterized by its intricate capitals adorned with acanthus leaves and scrolls, is evident in the building's grand colonnade. The architrave, supported by tall, slender columns, frames the entrance to the Bouleterion, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the ancient civilization that once thrived here. The columns, with their elegant tapering design, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The Bouleterion's ruins stand as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Greek civilization in Europe. The Eastern European site, now an important archeological site, continues to attract scholars and enthusiasts from around the world who seek to uncover the secrets of this ancient age. This photograph, with its captivating composition and intricate details, invites us to explore the history and beauty of this remarkable place.
