Costruito nella tarda età adrianea, subì una serie di ristrutturazioni fino almeno agli inizi del V secolo d.C. Le indagini, condotte nei mesi di settembre e ottobre 2017, hanno permesso di meglio precisare l’estensione, la cronologia e l’organizzazione spaziale dell’edificio. È stata scoperta una nuova porzione di mosaico pavimentale nell’ambiente 24, mentre il vano numero 10 si è rivelato essere un ambiente scoperto.

New archaeological investigations have been carried out by Ostia Marina Project in the "Building of two staircases", a commercial and residential building located in the southeastern part of the insula IV, ix, in the
suburban area outside Porta Marina at Ostia. The large structure was built in the late Hadrianic age, and shows many traces of restoration proving its continuity of life until at least the 5th century A.D. The new
results add new data to the knowledge of the extension, chronology and spatial organization of the building.
A new mosaic floor has been discovered in room 24, and room 10 has turned out to be a little courtyard.

The archaeological research of the
Ostia Marina Project has been going on for more than a decade in the district outside Porta Marina. One of the most investigated areas is the insula IV, ix. In the southeastern part of the block there is the “Building
of the two staircases” (IV, ix, 6), a residential and commercial building from Hadrian era, which remained in use with various rearrangements up to at least the 5th century AD. In the southern sector of the Building,
some fragments of a marble flooring unique of its kind have recently been discovered. The modular unit of the floor is a marble inlay capital. The executive technique can be closely compared with the marble coatings
of the Building of the opus sectile outside Porta Marina, as well as with the floors of the domus del Ninfeo and of the domus di Amore e Psiche. The particular decorative choice, in addition to the stylistic and technical similarity to other examples from Ostia, opens up new questions, but it also allows important considerations on the activity of marble craftmen in ancient Ostia.

Nuove ricerche condotte dal Dipartimento di Storia, Culture e Civiltà dell'Università di Bologna ... more Nuove ricerche condotte dal Dipartimento di Storia, Culture e Civiltà dell'Università di Bologna nell'ambito del « Progetto Ostia Marina » sono attualmente in corso nel quartiere fuori porta Marina dell'antica città costiera di Roma, un settore extraurbano che sta rivelando un notevole potenziale informativo. È stato per ora possibile documentare diversi momenti della vita della città (I-VI sec. d.C.), così come i tempi di abbandono e di decomposizione del tessuto urbano (VII-XVIII sec.). Il fronte mare era caratterizzato dal passaggio della via « consolare » Severiana, già per lungo tratto docu-mentata dagli scavi del Novecento. Nel settore A, isolato IV, ix, dello scavo attualmente in corso è stato rinvenuto un « balneum » pubblico di grandi proporzioni, detto « del Sileno » dalla maschera scolpita su un frammento di fregio dionisiaco rinvenuto nel 2011. L'edificio è stato incisivamente ristrutturato nella seconda metà del IV secolo. Il settore B comprende un grande complesso edilizio (il c.d. Caseggiato lungo via della Marciana, IV, IX) di età adrianea (post 134 d.C., sulla base dei bolli di Serviano III trovati in opera), con varie fasi di vita che si estendono fino al V sec. d.C. Le ricerche si sono concentrate su un grande vano, frazionato in epoca severiana e utilizzato come esercizio commerciale, tra IV e V secolo occupato da una o più officine (ergasteria) probabilmente specializzate in attività metallurgiche. L'eccezionale numero di monete bronzee di piccolo taglio rinvenute sembra sottendere la particolare intensità degli scambi al minuto. Progetto Ostia marina, terme del Sileno, caseggiato lungo la via della Marciana, via Severiana A new and very relevant bulk of informations is coming from the researches currently being carried out by the Department of History, Cultures and Civilizations of the University of Bologna, as part of the « Ostia Marina Project », developing in these years in the neighborhood outside Porta Marina (a gate of the ancient city), a suburban area that is proving to be a significant potential of archaeological data. For now it has been possible to record the different moments of the life of Ostia (Ist-VIth cent. AD), and also the time of abandonment and decomposition of the urban structures (VIIth-XVIIIth century). The sea front was characterized by the via Severiana, already documented by the twentieth-century excavations. In area A, block IV, IX, the excavations have revealed a new public « balneum », which takes now its name from the mask of Silenus carved in a dionysiac frieze fragment discovered in 2011. The building was significantly renovated in the second half of the IV century. The area B includes a large building complex (the so-called « House along the street of Marciana », IV, ix) of Hadrian's age (post 134 AD, according to the stamps of Servianus III found in the masonry) with various stages of life extending up to the V century. The researches focused on a large building, that in the Severan period was divided and used as a shop, and occupied between IV and V century by one or more workshops (ergasteria) specialized perhaps in metallurgical activities. The exceptional discovery of a large number of small bronze coins seems to underlie the particular intensity of the exchanges by retail.

suburban area outside Porta Marina at Ostia. The large structure was built in the late Hadrianic age, and shows many traces of restoration proving its continuity of life until at least the 5th century A.D. The new
results add new data to the knowledge of the extension, chronology and spatial organization of the building.

of the two staircases” (IV, ix, 6), a residential and commercial building from Hadrian era, which remained in use with various rearrangements up to at least the 5th century AD. In the southern sector of the Building,
some fragments of a marble flooring unique of its kind have recently been discovered. The modular unit of the floor is a marble inlay capital. The executive technique can be closely compared with the marble coatings
of the Building of the opus sectile outside Porta Marina, as well as with the floors of the domus del Ninfeo and of the domus di Amore e Psiche. The particular decorative choice, in addition to the stylistic and technical similarity to other examples from Ostia, opens up new questions, but it also allows important considerations on the activity of marble craftmen in ancient Ostia.
