EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the bustling interior of a food-shop in the ancient Roman city of Ostia, dating back to the 2nd century. Stepping into this remarkable scene is like stepping back in time, as every detail showcases the daily life and culinary culture of that era. The shop's colorful walls and decorative frescoes create an inviting atmosphere for customers seeking delicious treats and refreshing drinks. Shelves are filled with an array of tantalizing foods, from freshly baked bread to exotic fruits and aromatic spices. The skilled artisans behind the counter can be seen meticulously preparing mouthwatering dishes, their expertise evident in every gesture. Located in what is now modern-day Italy, this bar-like establishment served as a hub for social gatherings and commerce within Ostia Antica. It was not only a place to satisfy one's hunger but also a meeting point where locals would exchange news and engage in lively conversations. Preserved through time, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Rome's commercial landscape. As we admire this photograph by CM Dixon without any commercial intentions, it serves as a reminder of how food has always been at the heart of human connection – bringing people together across centuries and cultures.
