EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Cirencester Amphitheatre, located in Gloucestershire, England. Dating back to the early 2nd century, this Roman marvel stands as one of Britain's largest amphitheatres. Serving the bustling Roman city of Corinium (now known as Cirencester), which was once second only to London in size and significance, this grand structure could accommodate approximately 8,000 spectators. The earthwork remains depicted in this image showcase the architectural prowess and ingenuity of ancient Rome. The intricate design and sheer scale of the amphitheatre are awe-inspiring, reflecting a time when entertainment held great importance within society. Photographer Jeremy Richards has skillfully captured both the historical significance and natural beauty surrounding this archaeological gem. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only the impressive ruins but also their integration into the picturesque landscape. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we are transported back in time to an era where gladiatorial contests and public spectacles enthralled audiences. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into life during Roman times. Let us cherish these remnants from antiquity that continue to inspire wonderment today.
