EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a snapshot of daily life in the ancient city of Pompeii during the 1st century. The image transports us back in time to a bustling bakery, where Roman bakers skillfully attended to their craft. In this well-preserved artifact, we can observe various elements that were integral to the operation of such an establishment. At the forefront, we see a corn-mill, used for grinding grains into flour – a crucial ingredient for baking bread and pastries. Adjacent to it is an oven, its fiery glow hinting at the delicious treats being baked within. Behind these essential tools stands a food counter adorned with tantalizing offerings, inviting passersby to indulge in freshly baked delights. The vibrant colors captured by CM Dixon bring this historical scene to life; every detail meticulously preserved through time. This photograph offers not only insight into the culinary practices of ancient Rome but also provides valuable evidence about urban planning and commerce during that era. Located amidst the ruins of Pompeii, this bakery serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout history. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, our fascination with uncovering glimpses from our past remains unyielding.
