EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady, unveils a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient past of March, Cambridgeshire. The image showcases an extraordinary Roman settlement that once thrived in this very location over two millennia ago. As if frozen in time, the soilmarks etched on the recently cultivated field reveal a network of rectangular buildings and enclosures lining a well-traveled road. The intricate cropmarks provide invaluable insights into the architectural layout and organization of this bustling Roman community. Each structure tells its own story, whispering tales of daily life and human interactions that unfolded centuries ago. It is as though we are granted access to witness history unfold before our eyes. The meticulous attention to detail captured by Grady's lens allows us to appreciate the sheer scale and complexity of this archaeological marvel. From above, we can discern how these structures were thoughtfully arranged along the road, creating a sense of order within this vibrant settlement. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. This photograph invites us to reflect on our connection with ancient civilizations while igniting curiosity about their customs and traditions. In essence, Grady's work transports us back in time through his artistry; he bridges the gap between past and present with each click of his camera shutter.
