"Plan of the port of Ostia Antica" is a detailed engraving by Giulio de Musi, an Italian artist and engraver of the 16th century, known for his precise and intricate works. This particular piece serves as a cartographic representation of the ancient port of Ostia, which was the harbor city of ancient Rome and one of the most important archaeological sites related to Roman engineering and urban planning. The engraving likely dates from the mid-16th century, a period when interest in antiquity was resurgent among artists, scholars, and patrons, and when the study of ancient Roman artifacts and ruins was becoming increasingly systematic.

Giulio de Musi's work is significant for its historical and artistic value, providing insights into the Renaissance understanding of Roman topography and architecture. The "Plan of the port of Ostia Antica" would have been based on both the study of ancient texts and direct observation of the ruins, reflecting the Renaissance commitment to the fusion of scholarly research and visual representation. As a visual document, the engraving not only captures the layout and structure of the port but also reflects the Renaissance fascination with the classical world and its achievements.

The engraving is an important resource for historians and archaeologists, as it offers a snapshot of the port's layout before modern excavations and may include details that have since been lost or altered. It is also a testament to the skill of Giulio de Musi as an engraver, demonstrating his ability to translate complex spatial information into a coherent and aesthetically pleasing visual form. The "Plan of the port of Ostia Antica" remains an important work for the study of both Renaissance art and the legacy of Roman urbanism.
