EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time as we explore the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy, in this photograph from the 1910s. The image showcases Strada dell'Abbondanza, or the Street of Abundance, a bustling commercial district once filled with shops and markets. The paved street, lined with the remnants of ancient buildings, leads the eye towards the distant archway, a testament to the grandeur of this once prosperous city. The intricate details of the ruins, including the worn paving stones and the remnants of shop fronts, offer a glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Romans. The presence of a horse and water trough adds to the authenticity of the scene, as animals and water were essential components of life in Pompeii. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pompeii is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike. The city was buried under volcanic ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, preserving the ruins in an exceptional state of preservation. As we stand in awe of this historical site, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies beneath our feet. The Street of Abundance, with its shops and pavements, invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle of ancient Roman life, frozen in time.
