EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the mid-1850s, transports us back in time to the ancient Roman city of Évora in Portugal. The image showcases the remarkable preservation of two significant Roman structures: the aqueduct and the castellum. The Roman Aqueduct of Évora, an engineering marvel of antiquity, is depicted in all its grandeur, stretching out into the distance. This architectural feat, constructed around 50 AD, was designed to transport water from the nearby sources to the city. The aqueduct's intricate arches, each one unique in shape and size, are a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the Romans. The aqueduct's impressive length of approximately 13 kilometers ensured a consistent water supply for the residents of Évora, making it an essential component of their daily life. In the foreground, the castellum, or water distribution tower, stands proudly. This structure was responsible for regulating the flow of water from the aqueduct to the city. The castellum's intricate design, with its arches and columns, reflects the Romans' appreciation for aesthetics and their ability to integrate functionality with beauty. The photograph, taken in the mid-1850s, captures the Roman structures in their timeless splendor. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Évora, a city that has preserved its Roman heritage for centuries. The Roman Aqueduct and Castellum at Évora are not just historical landmarks; they are a testament to the ingenuity, creativity, and engineering prowess of the ancient Romans.
