EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper, transporting us back in time to the Roman town of Richborough in Kent around AD250. The image vividly depicts soldiers marching from the barracks within the bridgehead fort, offering a glimpse into what life may have been like during this era. The attention to detail is astounding as Lapper masterfully captures every element of this historical scene. From the timber and wooden structures that form the fortification to the disciplined soldiers moving with purpose and determination, it's an immersive experience that allows us to envision ourselves amidst this ancient military setting. Richborough Roman Fort holds significant importance as it would later be refortified in stone, further solidifying its defensive capabilities. This snapshot offers a unique perspective on how this once humble wooden structure evolved over time into a formidable stronghold. Lapper's graphic portrayal not only highlights his artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable educational tool for those interested in Roman history and military architecture. It invites viewers to delve deeper into understanding the complexities of ancient warfare and appreciate the ingenuity behind constructing such impressive fortifications. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are reminded of our rich heritage and how these remnants from centuries ago continue to captivate our imagination today.
