EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition of ancient and modern in Algeria's Cherchell. The image showcases the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, now repurposed as a football ground. Taken in December 2007 by EMD/Then and Now Images/Heritage Images, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of this North African city. The amphitheatre stands proudly amidst its surroundings, with its weathered stone walls telling tales of centuries past. Its grandeur is beautifully contrasted against the vibrant green grass that now covers what was once an arena for gladiatorial combat and entertainment. Cherchell itself exudes an air of mystery, with Arabic influences blending seamlessly with remnants of its Roman heritage. This photograph perfectly encapsulates this unique fusion, showcasing both the ancient ruins and the bustling modern cityscape beyond. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back in time to when roaring crowds filled these very seats to witness epic battles unfold before their eyes. Yet simultaneously, we are reminded that history is not confined to dusty books but lives on through adaptation and evolution. Through this lens, we gain a deeper appreciation for Algeria's cultural tapestry – where old meets new and tradition intertwines with progress. It serves as a testament to our collective human story: one that embraces change while honoring our roots. In cherishing images like these from Heritage Images' collection, we preserve not only moments frozen in time but also celebrate the enduring spirit of civilizations long gone
