EDITORS COMMENTS
A testament to the brutal past - the Colosseum stands tall in all its glory. This print captures the grandeur of this mighty monument, a symbol of pagan brutality. The Flavian amphitheatre, located in Rome, was once a site for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. Built with travertine limestone, it showcases remarkable Roman architecture. Begun under Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and completed during his successor Titus' reign in AD 80, the Colosseum remains an iconic tourist attraction even today. In this image taken around 1909, we see people from different walks of life gathered outside the ancient ruins. Women and children mingle with men as they explore this historic location. The black and white cinematography adds a timeless charm to the scene while background figures add depth to the composition. The photograph is meant to be viewed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into the rich history surrounding them. As we gaze upon this vintage print captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back to ancient Rome - a time when emperors like Vespasian and Titus ruled over one of history's greatest civilizations. Let us marvel at their architectural prowess while acknowledging that behind these magnificent structures lies tales of violence and cruelty.
