WHERE: Rome, Italy
WHEN: 1970
PHOTOGRAPHER: Winfield I. Parks, Jr
“Memory-haunted arena of the ancients, Rome’s 1,900-year-old Colosseum saw
bloody gladiatorial duels, battles with wild beasts, and mock naval engagement
s on its flooded floor. Christians banned the spectacles, and in later centuri
es presented church dramas here. Time, earthquakes, and stone scavengers took
their toll. Still, the treasured monument survived and again serves Rome—as a
traffic circle. Cars at evening rush hour create streaks of light in this tim
e exposure, which also captures horse-drawn carriages waiting at curbside for
tourists.”
—From "When in Rome," June 1970, National Geographic magazine
