EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the Lullingstone Roman Villa in Kent. The image captures a tile fragment that bears an intriguing imprint of dog paw marks, offering us a fascinating glimpse into the lives and interactions of ancient Romans with their beloved animal companions. The delicate craftsmanship of this Roman tile is evident, as every detail of the paw imprints has been carefully preserved over centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder that our connection with animals transcends time and culture. This simple yet powerful artifact allows us to imagine the presence of these loyal four-legged friends within the walls of this ancient villa. Jonathan Bailey's expert photography skillfully captures not only the physical details but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity surrounding this unique find. The lighting highlights each groove and indentation, emphasizing its significance as an archaeological treasure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where dogs played an integral role in daily life – perhaps serving as faithful protectors or cherished companions for those who resided within these historical walls. This photograph invites us to contemplate our shared history with animals and marvel at how even small fragments can provide profound insights into past civilizations.
