EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sacred Road of Cumae: A Journey Through Ancient Greece in Italy" The captivating image showcases the ancient Sacred Road of Cumae, a significant archaeological site located in the coastal town of Cumae, Campania, Italy. This Greek colony, part of Magna Graecia, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe's ancient past. Established around the 8th century BC, Cumae was a thriving Greek settlement along the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Sacred Road, also known as Via Sacra or the Sacred Way, was a crucial part of the city's religious and social life. It was believed that the road led to the Temple of Apollo and the Sibyl's Cave, where the famous Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetess, resided. The photograph reveals the remnants of this ancient street, with its worn-out stones, moss-covered ruins, and the serene backdrop of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The age of these structures, which have weathered the test of time, speaks volumes about the civilization that once thrived here. The art and history enthusiast will be drawn to the intricate details of the archaeological site, from the ancient Greek inscriptions etched into the stones to the remnants of the Doric and Ionic columns. The image transports us back to an era when mythology, religion, and daily life were intertwined, and the Sacred Road of Cumae served as a vital connection between the divine and the human world. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring influence of ancient Greece on European culture and history. It invites us to explore the mysteries of the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the ancient world.
