EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the ancient city of Hatra, located in the Ninawa Province of Iraq. With its vertical perspective, the intricate details and grandeur of this Parthian City come to life. Dating back to the 3rd century BCE, Hatra was originally established by the Seleucid Empire as a Hellenistic foundation. Throughout history, Hatra evolved into a prominent hub within the Parthian Empire, successfully fending off numerous attacks from Rome. However, its resilience could not withstand the onslaught brought upon by the Seleucid Persians in 241 CE. The once-thriving city met its tragic fate and was ultimately razed to ruins. Designated as a world heritage site for its historical significance, this awe-inspiring photograph showcases Hatra's architectural marvels against a backdrop of vast landscapes. From towering structures adorned with intricate carvings to sprawling courtyards that once bustled with life – every corner tells a story of past glory and enduring strength. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers an opportunity to delve into ancient civilizations and witness their remarkable achievements firsthand. As we gaze upon this image captured by Aerofi, we are reminded of both humanity's ability to create wonders and our collective responsibility to protect these invaluable remnants from fading into oblivion.
