EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman olive presses in the ancient city of Sufetula. These architectural features, dating back to the 1st century, stand as a testament to Rome's ingenuity and advanced engineering techniques. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring life to the ruins, allowing us to envision how these olive presses once thrived with activity. Located in modern-day Tunisia, Sufetula was an essential hub for olive oil production during Roman times. The tools used in these presses were crucial for extracting precious oil from olives, which played a significant role in both culinary and economic aspects of Roman society. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the remnants of this bustling industry. The ruined structures tell tales of hardworking laborers who operated these presses centuries ago. Photographer CM Dixon has skillfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance of these ancient ruins. Through his lens, we can appreciate their grandeur and marvel at how they have stood against time's relentless passage. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and invites us to reflect on the legacy left behind by those who came before us. It is a true treasure that allows us to connect with our past while appreciating its enduring impact on our present world.
