EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of Cirencester Amphitheatre in Gloucestershire, England. Built during the early 2nd century, this Roman amphitheatre was one of the largest in Britain, serving as a focal point for entertainment and cultural events in the thriving city of Corinium (now known as Cirencester). With its earthwork remains still standing proudly today, it offers a glimpse into the past when Corinium rivaled London in size and importance. The sheer scale of this ancient structure is awe-inspiring, with a capacity to accommodate approximately 8,000 spectators. As you gaze at this image by Peter Williams, you can almost imagine the excitement that once filled these grounds as gladiators clashed swords or chariot races thundered around its oval arena. Beyond its architectural magnificence lies an important piece of British history. The amphitheatre served not only as a center for entertainment but also as a symbol of Roman influence and power over Britannia. It stands testament to the rich cultural heritage that shaped our nation centuries ago. Peter Williams' photograph beautifully captures both the immensity and delicate details of this remarkable site. Whether you are an avid historian or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes infused with history, this print will transport you back in time to experience firsthand what life was like within these ancient walls.
