Ostia: Painting of Chariot 2, Building of the Charioteers (photo: Athena Review 2001)
The
Building of the Charioteers is adjacent to the Baths of the Seven
Sages. It was built during the first years of the reign of Antoninus
Pius (ca. 140 AD).
This
image shows one of the two chariot paintings on an interior wall, for which
the building is named. This chariot is shown running to the right, and in the
hands of the charioteer are the usual symbols of victory, a crown and a
palm branch.
