EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting remains of the ancient walls that once surrounded the Iberian city conquered by Scipio Aemilianus in 133 BC. Taken by an anonymous Iberian photographer during the 2nd century BC, this image transports us back in time to Numantia, located in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The sheer magnitude and grandeur of these weathered stone walls evoke a sense of awe and wonder. They stand as silent witnesses to a fierce battle between the inhabitants of Numantia and the mighty Roman army. For eight long months, these resilient people fought valiantly against overwhelming odds before succumbing to their conquerors. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit and unwavering determination displayed by those who called Numantia home. The ruins depicted here speak volumes about their strength and resilience in defending their beloved city. Intriguingly, this photo also serves as a testament to human history's ability to endure through time. Despite being captured centuries ago, it has managed to survive intact until today—a true relic from our past. With its rich historical significance and artistic composition, this remarkable image invites us on a journey through ancient civilizations while reminding us of our shared human heritage. It is undoubtedly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
