EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient Roman era, specifically to the CORBRIDGE Roman Town Museum in Northumberland. The image showcases a remarkable artifact that holds immense historical significance - a building dedication for Antoninus Pius, repurposed as a paving stone within the west granary. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate line and delicate curve tells a story of an empire long gone but not forgotten. It is through such relics that we can unravel the mysteries of our past and gain insight into the lives and achievements of those who came before us. Peter Williams has masterfully captured this piece of history, preserving it for generations to come. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance of this Roman artwork, from its weathered texture to its enduring beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but marvel at how something so grand could be reduced to serving as mere pavement stones over time. Yet even in its humble state, it exudes an undeniable aura of power and majesty. This print serves as a poignant reminder that history is not confined solely within textbooks or museums; it surrounds us everywhere if only we take the time to notice.
