EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a hexagonal Byzantine Baptism Pool at Timgad, a Roman colonial town nestled in the Aures Mountains of Algeria, comes into view. Founded by the Emperor Trajan around AD 100, Timgad is a testament to the rich history of the Roman Empire's expansion into North Africa. The Byzantine Baptism Pool, a later addition to the city, dates back to the 5th or 6th century AD. The pool, with its intricate mosaic and tiling, is a stunning example of the decorative arts that flourished during the Byzantine period. The basin, surrounded by steps, would have been used for baptisms, christenings, and ablutions. The pool's hexagonal shape is a common feature of Byzantine baptisteries and tanks, reflecting the influence of early Christian architecture. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the pool's beauty and intricacy, with the mosaic's colors and patterns still vibrant despite the passage of time. The pool's decoration includes geometric patterns, crosses, and figurative motifs, all executed in precise tiling. The steps leading into the pool provide a sense of accessibility, inviting us to imagine the sacred rituals that once took place here. Timgad, with its impressive ruins and rich history, is a reminder of the cultural exchange and artistic achievements that occurred during the Roman and Byzantine periods in North Africa. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Timgad was a thriving Roman town and a center of Christian worship.
