EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Wroxeter Roman City, a mesmerizing archaeological site nestled in Shropshire. The image showcases the impressive remains of the colonnade that once adorned the forum, evoking a sense of grandeur and historical significance. Standing proudly against time's relentless march, these ancient columns serve as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Beyond the colonnade lies an exquisite recreation of a Villa, transporting us back to the opulence and luxury enjoyed by Roman elites centuries ago. The meticulous attention to detail in this reconstruction is awe-inspiring, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the splendor of Roman life. Peter Williams has masterfully captured both elements within this photograph, showcasing his keen eye for composition and storytelling. Through his lens, we are transported into this ancient world where bustling markets filled with merchants once stood and lavish banquets were held under starlit skies. This print from Historic England serves as a window into history; it invites us to explore our past and appreciate the architectural marvels left behind by those who came before us. It reminds us that even amidst ruins, there is beauty waiting to be discovered – beauty that can ignite our imagination and deepen our understanding of human civilization throughout time.
