EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Latin inscription with the name of the ancient colony Cuicul, dating back to the High Imperial Period (27 BC-395 AD). The stone artifact, captured by Gerard Degeorge in Djemila, Algeria, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Roman colonial towns in North Africa. The carefully carved letters and text on this stone reveal fascinating details about Cuicul's origins. Emperor Nerva established this Roman colony during his reign (96-98 AD) as a reward for veteran legionnaires. It served as a home for those who had fought valiantly for Rome. The inscription represents an important piece of writing from the early days of Cuicul. Its presence signifies not only the establishment of a new settlement but also highlights the influence and reach of Roman civilization during that era. Gerard Degeorge's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the artistry and historical significance behind this Latin inscription. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an age where empires flourished and legacies were built. This print is more than just an image; it serves as a window into our past, reminding us of the enduring power and beauty found within ancient civilizations.
