The play of light and shadow on the pillar creates a sense of depth and grandeur, transporting viewers back in time to when this structure stood as a symbol of power and prestige.
The historical significance of Pompey's Pillar is further emphasized by Roberts' meticulous attention to detail, capturing every intricacy of its design with precision. From the ornate carvings on the column to the surrounding landscape of Alexandria, every element is depicted with care and accuracy.
