EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the 1st century AD, as the Roman Empire extends its reach to the shores of Britannia. At the helm of this grand endeavor is Emperor Hadrian, depicted here in regal attire, with an air of determination and authority. Hadrian's Wall, a testament to the Roman engineering prowess, stretches out in the background, serving as a protective barrier against the unyielding British elements and the indigenous Britons. The intricate network of Roman roads, crisscrossing the landscape, facilitated the movement of troops, supplies, and commerce throughout the province. The Romans, known for their architectural prowess, left an indelible mark on the British landscape with the construction of temples dedicated to their gods. The temple in this image, with its towering columns and ornate decorations, stands as a symbol of Roman power and influence. As the Roman presence in Britannia grew, so did the spread of Christianity. The arrival of Saint Paul and other early Christian missionaries marked the beginning of a new religious era. The cross, a potent symbol of the new faith, can be seen in the hands of the Briton in this image, signifying the coexistence of the old and the new beliefs. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of Romans in Britain, where the legacies of Hadrian, Hadrian's Wall, roads, temples, and Christianity continue to captivate the imagination and fuel scholarly inquiry.
