EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent ruins of the Capitolium, which was once the most important temple in Ostia Antica, Rome. Taken around 1890, this artwork takes us back to the Hadrianic and Imperial periods of ancient civilization. The image transports us to a time when Ostia Antica thrived as a bustling port town. The grandeur of the Capitolium is evident even in its dilapidated state, with its towering columns and intricate architectural details still commanding attention. The remnants of this sacred site are a testament to Roman artistry and engineering prowess. As we explore this photograph further, we can discern various building elements that have survived centuries of decay. The staircase leading up to what was once an awe-inspiring entrance hints at the grandeur that awaited worshippers inside. Every step carries echoes from countless footsteps taken by devotees long ago. The sculpture work adorning these ruins adds another layer of intrigue. Though weathered by time, one can still make out fragments depicting gods and goddesses who were revered within these hallowed walls. These fragmented sculptures serve as reminders of a rich religious tradition that shaped life in ancient Rome. Anderson's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind these excavations at Ostia Antica Temple. This photograph serves as a window into Europe's past, offering glimpses into an era where architecture reigned supreme and art flourished amidst an advanced civilization.
