Left: Visual reconstruction of the ancient Portus in Ostia, a port in the Tiber Delta first contemplated by Julius Caesar, then built by Emperor Claudius (who didn't get to see its completion) to ensure the vital supplies of grain even in winter and later enlarged by Emperor Trajan.
Right: The modern remains of the port's basin, now several hundred meters inland.

Spot blasfemo...
OK, forse il caso è un po' gonfiato visto i 46 commenti su Instagram, unico social linkato da questo articolo di Repubblica.
Ad ogni modo mi chiedo cosa ci sia veramente di tanto blasfemo nel giocare con l'idea di sostituire l'ostia con una patatina, e cosa giustifichi commenti del tipo "Avete davvero toccato il fondo! Vergonatevi!". Cioè davvero questo è il peggio della blasfemia che riescono a immaginare? Cioè, hanno usato una patatina, non una fettina di salsiccia!
Comunque i commenti migliori sono un classico del genere: "Provate se avete il coraggio a sfottere Maometto o Jahve' e vediamo che succede." che solleva almeno un problema di conoscenza delle religioni, oltre che svelare il pregiudizio che i mussulmani (e gli ebrei) siano mediamente più pericolosi dei cristiani. E l'ancor più incazzato "Fate semplicemente schifo. Sino a quando non vedrò la versione islamica non acquisterò mai più un vostro prodotto. Vergognatevi, voi e i vermi dell'agenzia pubblicitaria." che mi fa chiedere cosa dovrebbe sostituire la patatina nella versione islamica, vista l'assenza dell'eucarestia in quella religione.

Roman ship fresco from Ostia, first half 3rd AD
The fresco was discovered in 1865 in columbarium 31 of the Ostien necropolis on via Laurentina depicts a scene where a coastal freighter (navis caudiacaria) is being loaded with food. The ship is called Isis Geminiana (as can be read on its right side) and belongs to a certain Geminus or Geminius: At the stern is the helmsman, Farnaces magister; Abascantus oversees a man tipping a sack full of food (res) into a modius (Roman measure of volume for dry goods); at the prow, another figure seated next to a modius (inscribed Feces) gives orders to two workers carrying more sacks of grain on their shoulders and about to ascend the bridge.
The fresco, which belongs to the subsequent decorative phase (first half of the 3rd century AD) of the tomb, which was built in the second half of the I - beginning of the II century AD, decorated the left wall of the tomb and was flanked by a depiction of Mercury, which no longer exists. On the back wall was the banquet scene, now kept in the Museo Gregoriano Profano.

Did Roman apartment houses have a "Super" on site, or a doorman? Was parking included for your horse and wagon? What happened if your insula went condo? In this video you'll learn about Roman apartment houses, or insulae; who lived in an insula, and on what floors; the floor plan of a typical insula; and what a typical insula would have looked like.
