Abandoned Ancient History Column Hill Horizon Over Land International Landmark Monument Old Ruin Past Roman Turkey Aphrodisias Non Urban Scene
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us to the ancient city of Aphrodisias in Turkey's Aegean Region. The image captures the remarkable Portico of Tiberius, a stunning architectural marvel dating back to the 1st century AD. Standing tall and proud, its columns tell stories of an ancient civilization that once thrived on this very hill. As we explore further into the frame, our eyes are drawn to the Odeon, a grand amphitheater built between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. Its weathered stones bear witness to countless performances and gatherings that took place within its walls. Intriguingly adjacent is the temple of Aphrodite, constructed even earlier in the 1st century BC. This sacred sanctuary dedicated to love and beauty adds an air of mystique to this already enchanting landscape. The abandoned ruins evoke a sense of awe as we contemplate their historical significance. They serve as tangible reminders of a bygone era when Roman influence shaped these lands. With no people in sight, we are left alone with our thoughts amidst this international landmark. The horizon stretches over vast land, reminding us how small we are compared to the passage of time. This photograph encapsulates not just architecture but also history itself - it invites us to delve into ancient narratives while appreciating nature's ability to preserve remnants from millennia ago.
