This print transports us back to the ancient city of Carthage in the 2nd century BC. The image captures the intersection of Punic and Roman streets on Byrsa hill, showcasing the rich history and vibrant civilization that once thrived here. The color photograph reveals a sunny day outside, highlighting the stunning location and providing an elevated view of this historical site. The ruins of Carthage stretch out before us, reminding us of its significance as a major city in Africa during ancient times. The streets depicted are lined with remnants of buildings and structures, offering a glimpse into daily life during this era. We can imagine bustling activity along these lanes - merchants selling their wares, citizens going about their daily routines, and chariots traversing these roads. Carthage's strategic position by the sea made it an important hub for trade and commerce in antiquity. This aerial view emphasizes its vastness as we observe avenues stretching into the distance. As we admire this ruined yet awe-inspiring scene captured by CM Dixon, we are reminded of how civilizations rise and fall over time. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation on concepts such as legacy, resilience, and the passage of time.
