EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The oval columned piazza from the north west, Jerash, 1867" transports us back in time to ancient Rome. Taken by Sergeant Henry Phillips in 1867, this image showcases the remarkable classical architecture that still stands proudly in Jerash, Jordan. The focal point of the photo is a grand oval precinct known as the Roman forum or agora. Surrounded by majestic Ionic columns, it exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. The intricate details of each column are beautifully captured through Phillips' lens, showcasing their timeless beauty despite being remnants of a distant era. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the rich history and cultural significance held within these ruins. They serve as a testament to the once-thriving city of Gerasa (Jerash), which flourished during Roman rule. Phillips' skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also provides insight into life during that period. This image serves as a window into antiquity - transporting us back to an era long gone yet forever preserved through art. Preserved by the Palestine Exploration Fund and now made available for our viewing pleasure thanks to Bridgeman Images, this photograph offers a glimpse into one corner of Middle Eastern history that continues to captivate audiences today.
