EDITORS COMMENTS
Soli, an ancient city located in the modern-day province of Mersin, Turkey, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Cilicia. This evocative photograph captures the majestic ruins of Soli's ancient columns, which once formed part of a grand collonade. The city, also known as Solipolis or Pompeipolis, holds significant historical importance as the origin of the word solecism. The dialect of Greek spoken in Soli was considered by the Athenians to be a corrupted form of Attic Greek, giving rise to the term solecism, which refers to a grammatical error or anomaly. The exact date of this photograph is circa 1920s, and it offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when these columns stood proudly as part of a thriving city. The ruins of Soli are a poignant reminder of the civilizations that once flourished in this region, and the intricate details of the columns speak to the skill and artistry of the ancient craftsmen who built them. The history of Soli is a fascinating one, with the city playing a pivotal role in the political and cultural landscape of the ancient world. It was a significant center of Hellenistic art and culture, and its strategic location made it a valuable prize for various empires throughout history. Today, Soli stands as a reminder of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
