Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg were notable cartographers and engravers who collaborated on the production of the famous "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (Cities of the World). This multi-volume work, first published in 1572, contained detailed city views and maps from around the world, providing valuable insights into the urban landscapes of the time.

Ostia is a reference to the ancient Roman port city located at the mouth of the Tiber River, near present-day Rome, Italy. In the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," Braun and Hogenberg included a depiction of Ostia, along with various other cities, showcasing the city's layout, architecture, and important landmarks as they existed in the late 16th century.

These city views and maps produced by Braun and Hogenberg played a significant role in documenting the urban development and historical features of cities during the Renaissance period.
