EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic from the 1st century BC-1st century AD, depicting a ship from Alexandria in the bustling port of Ostia. The intricate artwork, created by an anonymous Roman artist, beautifully captures the essence of maritime trade and transport during ancient times. The mosaic is located at the Aree archeologiche di Ostia Antica e Isola Sacra in Rome, Italy. It portrays a scene of a majestic ship sailing into the harbor with its billowing sails and elegant design. This masterpiece was part of the Corporation of Seafarers' collection and adorned the Piazzale delle Corporazioni in Antique Ostia. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when Egypt played a significant role in international commerce. The ship's origins from Alexandria highlight its importance as one of North Africa's key trading centers during that time. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only ancient Egyptian culture but also the vast reach and influence of the Roman Empire. It serves as a testament to their advanced naval technology and their ability to connect different regions through maritime routes. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical treasure through her lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. This print is truly a window into our rich past where art intertwines with history on every brushstroke or tile fragment.
