EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the rich history of ancient Rome comes to life as archaeologists carefully excavate the ruins of Ostia, the ancient port city located just a short distance from the modern metropolis. Circa 1909, the dig site reveals a massive discovery: large oil storage jars, or amphorae, hidden beneath the earth. These jars, some of which are shown here, were once used to transport and store olive oil, a valuable commodity in the Roman Empire. The sheer size of the unearthed jars is awe-inspiring, with some appearing to be several feet high. The intricate designs etched into their surfaces add to their allure, providing a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the ancient world. The excavation of these oil stores offers valuable insights into the economic and trade activities that once thrived at Ostia, a bustling hub of commerce and transportation. Ostia's strategic location on the Tyrrhenian Sea made it an essential link in the Roman Empire's maritime trade network. The discovery of these oil stores further solidifies Ostia's importance as a key player in the distribution of essential resources, such as olive oil, to the Roman populace. The archaeological excavations at Ostia continue to uncover fascinating relics from the past, shedding light on the daily life, culture, and history of ancient Rome. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of archaeology and the mysteries that lie buried beneath the earth. The excavations at Ostia stand as a reminder of the rich history that surrounds us, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
