EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the excavations of the remains of a Roman city at Silchester. The image, an engraving created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the remarkable archaeological site that once thrived during the Roman Empire. The photograph captures a scene filled with ancient walls and ruins, revealing glimpses into the past glory of this forgotten city. The remnants of a basilica stand tall amidst the rubble, while nearby gates mark entrances into what was once a bustling hub of activity. Roman capitals and even a bronze eagle can be seen scattered among the debris, reminding us of their grandeur. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn towards an intriguing temple nestled within Silchester's grounds. Its intricate design hints at its former significance as a place of worship for ancient Romans who called this city home. Silchester, also known as Calleva Atrebatum, is located in Hampshire and holds immense importance for archaeologists studying Roman civilization. This print serves as both a visual testament to their work and an invitation for us to explore history through their discoveries. Through this image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness these excavations firsthand. It reminds us that beneath our modern world lies layers upon layers of rich history waiting to be unearthed and understood.
