EDITORS COMMENTS
Arles, France: A Glance Beyond the Ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre towards the River Rhone This evocative image transports us back in time to the enchanting town of Arles, France, during the 1910s. The photograph captures a breathtaking view looking past the edge of the ancient Roman amphitheatre, with its 120 arches still standing proudly around its walls. Originally built in 90 AD, this architectural marvel once hosted thrilling chariot races and hand-to-hand battles, reflecting the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire. As we gaze beyond the amphitheatre, our eyes are drawn to the serene expanse of the River Rhone, its gentle waters reflecting the rich history and cultural heritage of this remarkable town. In more modern times, the amphitheatre has continued to captivate audiences, hosting bullfights, plays, and concerts that have drawn visitors from around the world. The stone walls of the amphitheatre, weathered by time, stand in stark contrast to the vibrant rooftops and modern bridge in the background, showcasing the harmonious blend of history and progress. The arches, with their intricate details, serve as a testament to the enduring allure of Arles, inviting us to explore its rich past and embrace its captivating present.
