EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing remains of the temple of Ceres in Ostia, a Roman port city dating back to the 1st century. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the ancient city's rich history and vibrant civilization. The temple stands tall amidst a backdrop of lush greenery, with a majestic column rising proudly towards the heavens. Nature intertwines with man-made structures as plants and trees embrace what is left of this sacred place. The remnants exude an aura of mystery and reverence, reminding us of its religious significance within Roman society. Ostia was not only a bustling trade port but also a hub for cultural exchange and spiritual devotion. This photograph encapsulates both aspects beautifully - capturing the essence of an era where commerce merged seamlessly with religion. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported to Italy's Lazio region, where Ostia Antica once thrived as an important center for Roman civilization. The colors captured by CM Dixon bring life to these ancient ruins while preserving their historical integrity. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even after centuries have passed, our connection to our ancestors' beliefs and achievements endures. It invites contemplation on how civilizations rise and fall yet leave behind fragments that continue to inspire awe and wonderment today.
