EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as an artillery piece is transported beneath the ancient Arch of Galerius in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the final year of the First World War in 1918. The Arch, a magnificent 4th century Triumphal Arch, is an integral part of the Rotunda Complex and stands as a testament to the rich history of this vibrant city. The image shows two strong horses, their coats glistening with sweat, pulling the heavy artillery piece along the cobblestone streets. A determined team of soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, walk alongside the horses, ensuring a smooth and steady progress. The artillery piece, a symbol of power and defense, contrasts starkly with the delicate intricacies of the ancient archway above. The First World War saw Thessaloniki as a strategic location, with the city serving as a major Allied military base. The presence of the artillery piece in this photograph underscores the military significance of the city during that time. Despite the war, the beauty and grandeur of the ancient architecture continue to shine through, a testament to the resilience and enduring nature of Thessaloniki's history. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of history and modernity, war and peace, and the enduring spirit of a city that continues to thrive to this day.
