EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of ancient Ostia Antica in Italy during the 3rd century AD. The image showcases the bustling economic activity of the time, with a row of fishmonger shops lining the streets. The intricate mosaic pavement and marble buildings stand as a testament to Roman architecture and design.
The decumanus maximus, or main street, is filled with shadows cast by the sun overhead, creating a dramatic effect on the scene below. Each shop has its own placard identifying it as a taberne dei pescivendoli, or fishmonger's store. Tables outside display fresh catches of fish for sale to passersby.
The city's harbor can be seen in the background, hinting at Ostia Antica's importance as a trading hub for goods coming in and out of Rome. The grassy area in front of the shops adds a touch of nature to this urban landscape.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into daily life in ancient Rome, where commerce thrived and people gathered to buy food from local vendors. It serves as a reminder of how history continues to influence our modern world today.
