Courtyard Architecture in the Insulae of Ostia Antica
The excavations of Ostia by Vaglieri and Calza in the first half of the twentieth century transformed previous concepts of Roman urban architecture. This chapter reviews the architectural forms of these large Ostian establishments. The apartments in insulae are often characterized by a series of four or five rooms that are accessible from a larger central room or hall; this type of suite is sometimes referred to as a medianum apartment, after the term used to describe this central chamber. The chapter focuses on insulae built with interior arcaded courtyards. It presents a description of representative examples of two structures that exhibit the characteristics of an insulae that is organized around a cortile porticato. This is followed by a review of the architectural pedigrees of these structures, their chronological and spatial distribution in the Roman world, and some concluding comments about their legacies.
