Horrea of Milan, Roman warehouse in Milan, Italy
The Horrea of Milan contained numerous storage rooms with raised floors and thick walls to protect goods from moisture and theft during the Roman period.
The storage facility gained importance when Emperor Diocletian moved the capital of the Western Roman Empire to Mediolanum, leading to expanded trade activities.
The warehouse represented Roman administrative efficiency, storing and distributing essential commodities to support the growing population of ancient Mediolanum.
The remains and historical records of the Horrea provide information about Roman engineering methods at the Civico museo archeologico di Milano.
The warehouse featured innovative architectural elements including ramps instead of stairs, allowing efficient movement of heavy goods across different levels.
