1. Title: "Roman Ruins of Nova Epirus: A Glimpse into the Past at Vlore (Valona), Albania". This evocative photograph captures the Roman ruins at Vlore (Valona), Albania, dating back to the 1910s. The image offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of this ancient coastal town, located in the southwestern part of the country, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Nova Epirus, as Vlore was once known, was an essential Illyrian and Roman port city. Its strategic location made it a significant cultural and economic hub, connecting the Mediterranean world with the Balkans. The Roman ruins, including the impressive amphitheater, testify to the city's vibrant past. The amphitheater, a well-preserved Roman structure, is a striking reminder of the city's Roman heritage. It could accommodate up to 5,000 spectators and was used for various public events, such as gladiatorial contests, theatrical performances, and public speeches. The coastline in the background adds to the photograph's allure, with the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea reflecting the sun's rays. The ruins, surrounded by lush greenery, stand in stark contrast to the modern world, inviting us to imagine the lives of those who once called this place home. Vlore's Roman ruins are a testament to the region's rich history, showcasing the blend of Illyrian, Roman, and Albanian influences. This photograph not only captures the beauty and grandeur of the ruins but also invites us to explore the fascinating stories that lie within their walls. The Roman ruins at Vlore (Valona), Albania, continue to fascinate visitors from around the world, offering a unique glimpse into the past and a reminder of the region's rich cultural heritage.
