EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of the Corbridge Roman site in Northumberland takes us back in time to a bygone era of military might and strategic defense. The photograph, skillfully captured by Dave MacLeod, showcases the impressive fortification that once stood proudly on this historic ground. The ancient Romans were renowned for their meticulous planning and engineering prowess, and this image perfectly encapsulates their mastery. From above, we can see the intricate layout of the fort with its well-preserved walls and defensive ditches. These structures served as a formidable barrier against potential invaders, showcasing the Romans' unwavering commitment to protecting their territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England's collection, our imagination is transported to an era where soldiers patrolled these very grounds. We can almost hear the echoes of marching feet and feel the energy pulsating through these stone walls. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also offers a unique perspective on how human civilization has evolved over centuries. It serves as a reminder that beneath our modern cities lie layers upon layers of rich history waiting to be discovered. Dave MacLeod's expertly composed shot not only captures an archaeological treasure but also invites us to reflect on our own place within history's grand tapestry. This print is truly a testament to both his artistic talent and Historic England's dedication to preserving our collective heritage for generations to come.
