EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Roman Amphorae recovered from the wreck of a merchant ship dating back to the 2nd century BC. The amphorae, which were commonly used as storage jars during ancient times, offer us a glimpse into the rich history and maritime trade of Rome. The image captures the vibrant colors and intricate details that have withstood the test of time, despite being submerged for centuries in Italian waters. Each amphora tells its own story through its unique shape and design, reflecting both function and artistic craftsmanship. These artifacts provide valuable insights into daily life during this period - from their use in transporting goods across vast distances to their role as essential homeware items. The aging process has only enhanced their beauty, adding an air of mystery and authenticity to these archaeological treasures. Photographed by CM Dixon, this stunning image allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the aesthetic appeal of these ancient objects. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years, our connection to past civilizations remains strong through tangible remnants like these Roman Amphorae.
