EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Roman cisterns of Carthage, a reminder of the city's rich history as a powerful empire in North Africa. Founded by the Phoenicians in the first millennium BC, Carthage was once the seat of the mighty Carthaginian Empire, which ultimately fell to Rome in the 2nd century BC.
The intricate architecture of these Roman cisterns is a testament to the advanced engineering skills of ancient civilizations. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonder at how such structures were built without modern technology.
Carthage, now a seaside suburb of Tunis, remains an important archaeological site that attracts visitors from around the world. This photograph is part of a booklet of postcards showcasing different aspects of Carthaginian history and culture, providing glimpses into its past glory.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when empires clashed and civilizations rose and fell. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and mystery surrounding these ancient ruins.
Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder of Carthage's enduring legacy as one of North Africa's most significant historical sites.
