EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic from the 2nd century. The intricate artwork depicts two majestic ships, complete with steering oars, sailing gracefully on the sea. A prominent lighthouse stands tall in the background, guiding these vessels through treacherous waters. Adding an element of playfulness to the scene is a delightful dolphin leaping out of the water nearby. The Square of the Corporations in Ostia serves as the backdrop for this extraordinary piece of ancient art. Located in Ostia Antica, an ancient city near Rome, Italy, this archaeological site offers glimpses into Roman civilization and its maritime history. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this mosaic to life, showcasing both artistic skill and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Rome's mastery of water transport during that era. As we gaze upon this artifact today, we are transported back in time to witness the bustling activity within Ostia's harbor - merchants trading goods from distant lands while sailors navigate their way through turbulent waves. Preserved over centuries, this mosaic not only represents a beautiful work of art but also provides valuable insights into Roman culture and their deep connection with sealife and transportation. Its discovery continues to captivate archaeologists and historians alike who strive to unravel more secrets about our past.
