The artwork, created by a Roman artist in the first century BC, measures 47x94 cm with its frame and is currently housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City.

Its depiction evokes images of bustling riverside activity as it navigates through Europe's historic capital city. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an integral part of daily life in ancient Rome.
