Description

A large fluted column rises on the right, and a stone capital and a column base sit in the foreground beside fallen drums and blocks. Rows of standing columns recede across the open ground toward a line of trees under a clear sky. No people are visible.

English

Columns stand in rows across a dry, open site at Salamis, with fallen drums and a broken capital in the foreground. Trees line the horizon beyond the ruins.
