EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases the Capitolium, an ancient temple complex in Ostia Antica, Italy, dating back to the 2nd century AD. The Capitolium was the center of religious life in the Roman port city of Ostia, a crucial commercial hub for Rome. The temple complex was dedicated to the Capitoline Triad - Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva - the guardian deities of Rome. At the heart of the Capitolium lies this magnificent marble altar, adorned with an intricate frieze of weapons. The altar, dating from 120 AD, is a testament to the military might and religious devotion of the Roman people. The broken pieces of the frieze, now scattered around the altar, hint at the passage of time and the inevitable decay of even the most grandiose structures. The Capitolium's white marble walls, once gleaming in the Italian sun, now lie in ruins, a poignant reminder of the rich history that lies beneath the modern-day landscape of Ostia Antica. The temple complex, with its intricate details and historical significance, continues to captivate archaeologists and history enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the ancient Roman world and its enduring legacy. The altar's frieze, with its depiction of various weapons, speaks to the military prowess of the Romans and their belief in the protection of their gods. The broken pieces of the frieze, scattered around the altar, serve as a reminder of the passage of time and the inevitable decay of even the most grandiose structures. This image offers a unique perspective on the history and archaeology of Ostia Antica and the Roman world, inviting us to explore the depths of the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of ancient civilizations.
