EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of Ostia Antica, the ancient port city of Rome. The image, captured by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, showcases Via Decumanus, a Roman road that served as the main thoroughfare through this remarkable archaeological site. The photograph beautifully captures the fusion of nature and architecture as a majestic tree gracefully leans over an archway along the street. This arch serves as a gateway into another era, where trade flourished and theater performances entertained crowds. The Theatre built during the 1st century BC stands proudly in its reconstructed form from 196 AD. Ostia Antica was once a vibrant hub for maritime activities and played a crucial role in Rome's economic prosperity. Today, it stands as an open-air museum that offers visitors an immersive experience into ancient Roman life. Through this lens, we gain perspective on how time has transformed this location while still preserving its architectural features such as arched doorways and lanes. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness history come alive amidst modern-day Italy. CM Dixon's artistic vision allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of Ostia Antica but also highlights its significance as one of Rome's most important historical sites. This print serves as both a window into our past and an invitation to explore further into Italy's rich cultural heritage.
