EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable discoveries within the ancient Tripolitania Walls of the Roman imperial Palace in Leptis Magna. Built by Septimus Severus, a prominent Roman emperor, this magnificent structure was intended to honor his birthplace and has stood for over 17 years. Now emerging from the arid desert sands that have shielded them for nearly two millennia, these walls are remarkably well-preserved. Considered an invaluable treasure of Roman civilization in Northern Africa, Leptis Magna holds immense historical significance. Professor Paribeni, Superintendent of Antiquities at Rome, has declared it as the most important monument in this region. This photograph showcases not only its grandeur but also highlights its cultural importance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image captured during the early 1920s between two world wars. Preserved by Central News, this piece of Europeana photography offers us a glimpse into history frozen in time. As we gaze upon these walls rising majestically against the backdrop of a barren landscape, we can't help but marvel at their resilience and endurance throughout centuries. The photo invites us to appreciate both the architectural brilliance of ancient civilizations and our ability to uncover their secrets through archaeological exploration
