Dramatic marble stone carved mask of the arts at the ruins of a 4000 seat theater in the ancient Roman port town of Ostia Antica near Rome, Italy. Black and white.

Ostia Antica is a huge archaeological site about 15 miles southwest of Rome, Italy. Founded as Rome's first colony in 7th century BC, Ostia was Rome's main seaport from about the 4th century BC to about the 5th century AD. Ostia eventually lost its economic usefulness with the fall of the Roman Empire and eventually was completely abandoned about 9th century AD. Over time, the port town of about 100,000 people (at it's height in 2nd century AD) was eventually silted over by the Tiber River and well preserved. It's estimated only about one third of Ostia's sprawling 300+ acre site is visible today with the remaining two thirds still to be excavated. The site is noted for the excellent preservation of its ancient buildings, magnificent frescoes and impressive mosaics.
