<https://s.mj.run/1zlcKFo2xhU> A wide-angle view of a Roman villa from the time of Augustus, perched on a cliff overlooking the azure Mediterranean Sea in the late afternoon of a September day in 5 BCE. The villa features classical Roman architecture: a terracotta-tiled roof, walls of sun-bleached stone, and a colonnaded courtyard surrounding a central atrium. The courtyard is adorned with a fountain of carved marble and bordered by lush, carefully cultivated gardens of Mediterranean herbs and flowers. The villa’s coastal terrace is lined with mosaic floors, depicting sea creatures and mythological figures, and offers an unobstructed view of the vast, glittering sea. Below, the cliffs drop to a rocky shoreline where small fishing boats bob on the gentle waves. The sunlight casts warm, golden tones across the scene, contrasting with the vivid blue of the sky and water. Shot with a Sony A7R IV, 35mm lens, highlighting the intricate architectural details and the harmony between the villa and its natural surroundings.
