Ostia: una iscrizione inedita e i restauri di età teodericiana alle terme di Porta Marina

The paper aims to present the theoderician phase of the Terme di Porta Marina in Ostia to the attention of scholars. The stamps coming from the thermal context was already known even if they had never been the subject of a specific publication. Now we can add to these an unpublished inscription which recalls the restoration of the building: according to the rhetoric of the time, the baths would have been brought back to the condition of the past thanks to the splendor of the marbles.
