EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the ancient Roman city of Colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi, near Timgad, Algeria. The image showcases the impressive colonnade of what is known as the Market of Sertius, a significant commercial structure that once thrived with activity. The ruins depicted in this print are a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of the Roman civilization. Dating back to around 100 AD, these well-preserved columns stand tall against the backdrop of an expansive sky. Each column represents not only a building element but also a piece of artistry and craftsmanship from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through these ancient streets bustling with merchants and traders. The intricate decorations adorning each section of the colonnade speak volumes about the attention to detail that went into its construction. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 by Bougault A. , capturing both the beauty and grandeur of this archaeological marvel. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years, remnants like these continue to captivate our imagination and offer glimpses into past civilizations. This artwork is more than just a visual representation; it is an invitation for us to explore Africa's rich heritage and delve deeper into ancient civilizations. Let it transport you back in time as you contemplate how such magnificent structures were built without modern technology or machinery. In summary, this print encapsulates not only architectural excellence but also serves as a window into Africa's ancient past - reminding us that history has many stories yet untold.
