Black and White Roman Ruins: Arches and Column

Black and white, high-contrast photograph of ancient Roman ruins. A row of rounded arches recedes into the distance, with a single tall fluted column in the foreground. Weathered limestone blocks, rough textures, and moss in the crevices. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting with sunlight at a low angle casting long shadows across the pavement and arches. Grainy film texture, wide-angle perspective to emphasize depth and grandeur. Include architectural details: voussoirs in arches, imposts, capital with acanthus leaves on the column, fragments of frieze and inscriptions, and dust motes illuminated by a sunbeam. The mood is timeless and reverent, celebrating classical architecture and heritage.
