This print takes us back to the ancient city of Rome in 1910, showcasing the magnificent Aurelian Wall. The wall, initiated by Emperor Aurelianus in 271 AD and completed by his successor Probus in 275 AD, stands as a testament to the defensive measures taken against barbaric invasions during that time. The image captures the grandeur of this architectural marvel, which stretches across Rome's landscape as a symbol of strength and protection. Bathed in sunlight, the wall exudes an aura of resilience against any threat that may have loomed beyond its boundaries. The sepia-toned photograph allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also the historical significance it holds. It serves as a reminder of Rome's rich past and its ability to withstand challenges throughout centuries.
