EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sight in Apollonia, Libya - a cross inscribed on a column. The ancient Greek city of Apollonia holds great historical significance as it served as a vital seaport for Cyrene, initially settled by the Greeks around 630 BC. Over time, this city transformed into a Roman settlement and today stands adorned with ruins that bear witness to its rich past. Amongst these ruins are three Christian churches dating back to the Byzantine period, offering glimpses into the region's religious evolution. This particular image captures one such church feature - an intricately carved cross etched onto a stone column. The sharpness and vividness of the photograph bring out every minute detail of this architectural marvel. The presence of this cross symbolizes not only the influence of Christianity but also highlights how different cultures and religions have left their mark on Apollonia throughout history. It serves as a testament to the diverse heritage that has shaped North Africa over centuries. Photographer Vivienne Sharp skillfully captured this moment in time at Susah, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance held within this single image. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fusion of cultures and faiths that once thrived in Apollonia, Libya.
