«...et praesepia marmoravit». Marmi e laterizi nei pavimenti del mitreo Aldobrandini di Ostia

L'articolo presenta i risultati delle recenti indagini condotte presso il cd. mitreo Aldobrandini di Ostia, scoperto da Guido Calza nel 1923 e pubblicato da Giovanni Becatti nel 1954. Pavimentato in lastre di marmo e laterizi, l'edificio è stato oggetto di una nuova campagna di documentazione grafica e fotografica, corredata da una nuova ricerca dei documenti d'archivio.The so-called Mitreo Aldobrandini, originally located next to a tower of the republican city-walls in the northeastern area of ancient Ostia, is now preserved in the estate owned by the Aldobrandini family. The mithraeum was only partially investigated by Guido Calza in 1923 and later published by Giovanni Becatti in 1954. Its pavement was partly marble and partly brickwork, with decorative motifs of particular rarity. Here are presented the results of new observations on the monument based on autoptic analysis together with indirect and three-dimensional relief technologies. This research has also been supported by new archival research
