EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Tiber Island in Rome, Italy, as it was in the early 1900s. Situated in the Tiber River, Isola Tiberina, or Tiber Island, is a small island connected to the mainland by two ancient Roman bridges: Cestius Bridge (Ponte Cestio) on the western side and Fabricius Bridge (Ponte Fabricio) on the eastern side. The island has been inhabited since ancient times and was once used as a burial ground. The presence of the two bridges has made it an essential crossing point over the Tiber River for centuries. The bridges not only serve as important historical landmarks but also add to the picturesque charm of the island. The western bridge, Ponte Cestio, is believed to have been built around 125 AD, while the eastern bridge, Ponte Fabricio, is even older, with some estimates suggesting it was constructed as early as 62 BC. Both bridges are well-preserved and are a testament to the engineering prowess of the ancient Romans. The photograph showcases the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the island, with the Tiber River gently flowing beneath the bridges. The island's lush greenery, including trees and vegetation, adds to the tranquility of the scene. The ancient ruins and structures on the island, visible in the background, further emphasize its rich history and cultural significance. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, capturing the essence of Rome's ancient history and the enduring beauty of Tiber Island. It invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of those who have crossed these bridges throughout history, and to appreciate the timeless allure of this remarkable place.
