EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable architectural marvel from the 2nd century - a Hypocaust in a Roman bath house located in the ancient Roman town of Sufetula, now known as Sbeitla, Tunisia. The vibrant colors bring to life this historical gem that once stood as a testament to Rome's advanced engineering and bathing culture. The image captures the intricate details of the hypocaust system, an innovative underfloor heating system used by Romans for their baths. This ingenious design allowed hot air to circulate beneath the floors, providing warmth and comfort to those indulging in luxurious bathing rituals. The location itself adds another layer of fascination; Sufetula was an important city during Roman times and is now recognized for its rich archaeological heritage. It serves as a reminder of Italy's influence on distant lands like Tunisia. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures every aspect of this ancient structure with precision and artistry. The composition draws attention to the interplay between light and shadow, highlighting both the grandeur and intricacy of Roman architecture. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a window into history, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate Rome's ingenuity while immersing themselves in its timeless beauty.
