EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring interior of the Basilica of Constantine, also known as the Aula Palatina, in Trier, Germany. Dating back to the early 4th century AD and built by Emperor Constantine himself, this Roman palace basilica is a true marvel of ancient architecture.
The sheer size and grandeur of this hall are truly breathtaking - measuring 67 meters long, 26 meters wide, and 33 meters high. The coffered ceiling adds to the sense of magnificence, while the apse and tribunal showcase the power and authority that once resided within these walls.
Despite being bombed during World War II, this historic site has been lovingly restored to its former glory - a testament to both its enduring significance and the dedication of those who seek to preserve our shared cultural heritage.
Today, this remarkable space serves as a Protestant church but still retains echoes of its Roman past. The floor and wall heating system (hypocaust) remind us of the advanced engineering skills possessed by ancient civilizations.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when emperors ruled with absolute power and architectural wonders such as this basilica stood as symbols of their might. Truly a sight to behold!
