His reputation as the greatest photographer of conflict has been replaced in recent years with an image of McCullin as the great traveler. He is now as familiar with the remoter parts of the globe as he was once accustomed to life in the war zone. This latest collection is divided into two parts. The first part, the Levant, includes the ruins of Baalbek in the Lebanon, Palmyra in Syria, and Jirash in Jordan. The second part, the Moghreb, covers a sweeping journey through the North African coastal countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, where he has photographed the great ruins of Leptus Magna. McCullin&;s photographs, taken on a large-format camera, are evocative of the views of distinguished 19th-century predecessors who came with sketchbooks and paints. Review: Expensive used book but beautiful. - Beautiful book. Difficult to get hold of. Expensive as a result of limited supply. Review: Stunningly beautiful in its austerity. - Don McCullin is a gifted photographer (and the subject of a terrific documentary recently screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival). For students of antiquity and everyone who loves gorgeous black/white photography raised to artistry, this is a vital work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,229,442 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #89,200 in Photography & Video | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 8 Reviews | ## Images ![Southern Frontiers: A Journey Across the Roman Empire - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aeHCrwhqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive used book but beautiful. *by C***R on May 15, 2019* Beautiful book. Difficult to get hold of. Expensive as a result of limited supply. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunningly beautiful in its austerity. *by J***. on April 5, 2013* Don McCullin is a gifted photographer (and the subject of a terrific documentary recently screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival). For students of antiquity and everyone who loves gorgeous black/white photography raised to artistry, this is a vital work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magical awe inspiring work *by I***I on February 19, 2011* Southern Frontiers of the Roman Empire. It is a very large book, with large beautiful black and white plates, two introductions one being by McCullin himself - the rest is all photo, with captions. I heard tell that McCullin used a Large Format camera with sheet film to capture these places, ranging from Palmyra to Baalbek and finishing off with desolate, bleak and soulful pictures of Hadrians Wall in winter - covered in snow they portray the Northern Frontier of Rome perfectly. Don McCullin is a genius and also my most favorite of artists and this is another masterpiece, as it's not his usual portraiture, reportage, landscape or still life (as in open skies) but a record of a personal trip through the Southern Frontiers of the Roman Empire. He captures what most photographers are never able to - the desolation, the beauty, the antiquity, the soul and spirit of the place - Leptus Magna in Black and White Large Format is something to behold - and with McCullins touch the feel of the place, the ghosts haunt every photograph and one is drawn into staring at the photo and losing oneself in thought. Every single photograph is a masterpiece in itself, and just focussing upon them can lead one to rupture or melancholy - as both states are expressed and made manifest in the photographs. And this book inspired me and kindled the dormant childhood interest in Rome i used to have and I long to visit Baalbek, Palmyra and Leptis Magna. Having visited Caerleon and seen remains of the Amphitheatre there I photographed it in Black and White MF film, and having studied my own photographs I realise BW is a perfect medium to record history with, yet I know I have not the spirit of McCullin, nor ever will as his work is beyond. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/73010294-southern-frontiers-a-journey-across-the-roman-empire](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/73010294-southern-frontiers-a-journey-across-the-roman-empire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
