EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002069-0000" transports us back in time to the grandeur of ancient Rome. The subject of this image is none other than the remarkable Flavian Amphitheater of Pozzuoli, a true architectural marvel that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to a portion of the amphitheater building, revealing its intricate terraces and an uncovered rectangular section at its center. It is through this opening that one can catch a glimpse of the subterranean parts below, perhaps hinting at hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. The date imprinted on the photo takes us further into history - 1859-1861 - when Giorgio Sommer skillfully captured this momentous structure. However, it's important to note that the artwork itself dates back even further, originating from 69-79 AD during Emperor Vespasian's reign. Located in Bacoli, Italy, this iconic amphitheater stands as a testament to Roman engineering prowess and artistic vision. Once bustling with crowds eager for performances and recreation activities within its walls, it now serves as an archaeological site offering glimpses into ancient Roman life. Intriguingly framed by towering pine trees and lush vegetation in the background, this photo allows us not only to appreciate the magnificent architecture but also provides a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside. It truly captures both man-made wonders and nature's beauty harmoniously coexisting. Giorgio Sommer's masterful composition immortalizes not just an ancient structure but also evokes curiosity about what lies beneath its surface. This powerful image invites us to explore history through archaeology while reminding us how human ingenuity can create lasting legacies for generations to come.
