EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from Ostia Antica, the ancient Roman port city near Rome, the House of Triclini stands proudly, a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of the Roman Empire. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this impressive domus, or Roman house, served as the headquarters of the guild of builders during the height of the Imperial Age. The House of Triclini, named after the three-couched dining table, or triclinium, where banquets were held, is a fine example of the luxurious living quarters that were common among the Roman elite and their guilds. The building's intricate architectural details, including the elegant columns and ornate friezes, speak to the wealth and status of its inhabitants. Located in the coastal area of Latium, in the region of Lazio, Italy, Ostia Antica was an essential commercial and military hub during the Roman Empire. The city was connected to Rome by the Appian Way, making it an ideal location for the headquarters of various guilds, including the guild of builders. The House of Triclini, with its well-preserved remains, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Romans during the Imperial Age. Its grandeur and intricate details are a reminder of the advanced civilization that once thrived in this region. Today, Ostia Antica is an archaeological site and a popular tourist destination, attracting history enthusiasts and architecture buffs from around the world. This image captures the essence of Ostia Antica's rich history and the enduring allure of Roman architecture.
