Salamis
Description
Tall columns with capitals stand in a long line receding toward the right, with fallen drums and scattered stone blocks on the ground between them. In the foreground a low wall of large rectangular blocks rises above a flight of worn stone steps, and a single column stands at the right edge. Dark trees and low ground fill the background under a pale sky.
English
A row of tall standing columns runs across an open excavated area at the site of Salamis. In the foreground, a low wall of large dressed stone blocks and a single column stand on stone steps, with scattered ruins beyond and a line of trees on the horizon.
