EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Bull Ring, also known as the Cirencester Roman Amphitheatre, located in Gloucestershire. Once a bustling hub of activity during Roman times, this amphitheatre holds great significance as Corinium, one of the most vital Roman towns in England, stood on its grounds along the Foss Way. The name "Bull Ring" originates from its past use for herding purposes when it was privately owned land. Today, it stands as a remarkable testament to ancient engineering and architectural prowess. The circular enclosure is beautifully captured by renowned photographer Henry Taunt in 1885. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the echoes of gladiatorial contests and grand spectacles that once unfolded within these earthwork walls. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and offers us a glimpse into life during Roman times. Henry Taunt's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the scale and detail of this archaeological marvel. The intricate patterns etched into the ground are evidence of meticulous craftsmanship that has withstood centuries. This print not only showcases an important piece of British heritage but also invites us to reflect on how our ancestors lived their lives amidst such awe-inspiring structures. It serves as a window into another era while reminding us to cherish and preserve our cultural treasures for future generations.
