Thermopolium of Lucius Fullo and Lucius Placidus
This thermopolium (2nd–3rd c.), or a hot food and drink bar, shows a marble-clad counter with built-in jars beside a painted wall panel depicting vessels that advertised the shop’s offerings. Its mosaic floor and brick vaulting accommodated heavy use as such establishments formed a key part of Ostia’s commercial and daily life.
