EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Pompeys Pillar, a Roman triumphal column standing proudly in the heart of Alexandria, Egypt. Dating back to the 1st or 2nd century AD, this historic landmark is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. The column, adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, was erected to commemorate the victory of Emperor Diocletian over the Sassanid Empire in AD 297. The name "Pompeys Pillar" is a misnomer, as there is no evidence that Pompey the Great had any connection to this structure. This photograph, captured in the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carts and donkeys were the primary means of transportation in this bustling urban center. The column, surrounded by a traditional Egyptian town, blends seamlessly with the modern streetscape, showcasing the unique juxtaposition of old and new. The architectural beauty of Pompeys Pillar is further highlighted by the barren desert landscape that stretches out in the background, adding to the sense of isolation and mystery. This image is a must-see for history buffs, architects, and travelers seeking to explore the hidden gems of Egypt's past. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are reminded of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
