EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Ostia Antica, an ancient Roman city and harbor complex located in the Italian region of Lazio, just outside of modern-day Rome. In this image, the Republican Store-building takes center stage, showcasing its impressive southern facade. Built towards the end of the 1st century BC, this structure was likely a complex of shops and workshops, as indicated by the opus quasi reticulatum brickwork, a distinctive, interconnected pattern of bricks that was commonly used in Roman construction. The store-building's tufa piers, visible in the southern portico, add an additional layer of intrigue to its history. Tufa, a type of volcanic rock, was often used in Roman architecture due to its durability and ease of carving. The use of tufa in the portico suggests that the building may have had a more significant role in the city's economy, potentially serving as a hub for trade and commerce. As you take in the general view from the south-east, you can't help but be transported back in time. The ruins of Ostia Antica offer a unique glimpse into the daily life of ancient Rome, from its bustling markets and workshops to its sophisticated architectural designs. The remains of this once-thriving city continue to captivate historians, archaeologists, and travelers alike, offering a window into the rich history and culture of Italy's ancient past.
