EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, a remarkable structure dating back to the 2nd century in Rome's Roman Forum. Originally built as a temple dedicated to Emperor Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina, it later underwent a fascinating transformation into a Christian church. The image captures the grandeur of this ancient edifice, with its stunning Corinthian columns rising majestically towards the sky. The vibrant colors bring out the intricate details of each pillar, highlighting their significance in Roman architectural history. Located in San Lorenzo in Miranda, Lazio, Italy, this religious site stands as a testament to both Roman civilization and Christianity's enduring influence. The concept of conversion is beautifully depicted here – from an imperial temple honoring emperors to becoming a place of worship for followers of Christ. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of awe at how time has shaped and repurposed this sacred space. Through his lens, we can appreciate the harmonious blend between ancient pagan beliefs and early Christian practices that have left an indelible mark on our cultural heritage. This print serves as a visual reminder that history is not confined within textbooks; it lives on through structures like these – silent witnesses to centuries past.
