Abstract

Stephan T.A.M. Mols
Ricerche sulla pittura di Ostia

Status quaestionis e prospettive

If you want to have a good picture on how Romans lived during the first century AD, your research should start in Ostia. The materials used in Ostia are more homogeneous and, in a relative sense, more ample than those found in Rome. Therefore it is logic to examine first the pictures that where revealed in the capital city, in order to obtain a better knowledge of the materials used in Ostia.
This paper discusses some apects linked to the Ostian settlement from the 2nd century BC until the end of the forth century AD. The focus is on the murals and the actual status of the research. The author presents a new chronology based on architectural and epigraphical examples.
