EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the Frigidarium, or cold bath, of the Terme del Foro (Baths of the Forum) in Ostia Antica, Italy. Dating back to the late 2nd century, these ancient Roman ruins once formed part of the grand thermal complex that served the bustling seaport of Ostia, just 20 miles from the heart of Rome. The Frigidarium, with its impressive columns and intricately carved walls, would have been the entrance to the bathing complex. Here, visitors would have disrobed and prepared for their bathing experience, which would have included a series of heated rooms and pools. The large pool in the center of the Frigidarium would have been filled with cold water, providing a refreshing contrast to the warmer temperatures of the other baths. The photograph, taken in the circa 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Ostia was a thriving Roman port city. The columns, now weathered and worn, still stand tall, a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Rome. The walls, adorned with intricate carvings and frescoes, tell stories of a civilization that once flourished. Ostia Antica, with its rich history and stunning archaeological remains, offers a unique glimpse into the past. The Frigidarium of the Terme del Foro is just one of the many fascinating sites that can be explored, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Romans and the history of this remarkable city.
