EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tower and walls" by Roman takes us on a journey to the ancient city of Tipasa in Algeria. The image showcases the remnants of a circular defensive structure, standing tall against the test of time. As we delve into its historical significance, we learn that Tipasa was initially founded by the Phoenicians but later became a Roman military colony under Emperor Claudius. The photograph beautifully captures the architectural marvels left behind by these civilizations, highlighting their intricate design and sturdy construction. The walls surrounding the city served as protective barriers, safeguarding its inhabitants from external threats. It is fascinating to note that Christianity found an early foothold in this region, with Tipasa becoming an important Bishop see during its heyday. The ruins depicted in this image not only depict physical decay but also evoke a sense of awe and wonder at the rich history embedded within them. This archaeological site stands as a testament to North Africa's cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of how past civilizations have shaped our present world. Gerard Degeorge's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of these ancient structures while capturing their essence through his lens. This print transports us back in time, inviting us to explore and contemplate the stories hidden within these weathered walls.
