EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South-east Baths of Maktar in Tunisia, a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of ancient Rome. Built at the end of the second century, these remarkable baths are among Africa's best-preserved Roman relics. The lower floor remains completely intact, allowing us to marvel at their original splendor. Standing proudly within this archaeological site are the walls of the central hall known as cella media, along with the adjacent frigidarium (cold bath) and caldarium (warm bath), reaching an impressive height of 12-15 meters or 40-50 feet. The sheer magnitude and intricate design of these structures transport us back in time to an era when public bathing was not only a means for personal hygiene but also a social activity promoting health and well-being. The image captures both the sharpness and vividness that bring out every detail of this historical gem. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, remnants like these continue to stand tall, preserving our connection to ancient civilizations. Photographer Vivienne Sharp has masterfully captured this North African treasure while highlighting its significance within Tunisia's rich cultural landscape. This photograph is not just a visual delight; it represents an invaluable piece of history that deserves recognition for its enduring beauty and contribution to our understanding of Roman architecture in Africa.
