This print captures the timeless beauty of the Theatre at Curium (Kourion), Cyprus, in 2001. Steeped in rich history, Cyprus became a Roman province in 58 BC and later became part of the Byzantine Empire in 395. Kourion, an ancient city believed to have been established by the Argives, was known as Curium during Roman times. The theatre itself is a testament to Greek and Roman architectural prowess. Originally built by the Greeks in the 2nd century BC, it was later reconstructed by the Romans during the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
