EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "View of the Market Place in the 2nd Century," is a meticulous reconstruction drawing by renowned archaeological illustrator Ivan Lapper, brought to life from the remains of the Roman site at Letocetum in Staffordshire, England. The site, now known as Wall, was once an important Roman military and civilian settlement, attracting traders and travelers from across the empire. In this image, Lapper masterfully depicts the bustling marketplace at the heart of Letocetum's thriving community. The vibrant scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of a busy Roman market. Stalls overflow with an array of goods, from intricately crafted pottery and colorful textiles to fresh produce and exotic spices. The central focus of the marketplace is the impressive basilica, a large, colonnaded building that served as the administrative and judicial center of the settlement. The basilica's imposing columns create a grand entrance, inviting visitors to explore the market and engage in commerce. Surrounding the basilica are various other structures, including shops, houses, and temples. People of all walks of life can be seen going about their daily business – soldiers, merchants, craftsmen, and civilians. The energy and diversity of the Roman world come alive in this stunning reconstruction, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. Ivan Lapper's exceptional talent for illustration allows us to visualize the marketplace at Letocetum as it may have appeared over 1,800 years ago. This print is not only a testament to the rich history of this remarkable site but also a captivating work of art that transports us back in time.
