Ostia antica
takes its name from the Latin word ostium meaning mouth. Founded as
a military base, it became an important commercial port for the
supply of grain for Rome. Starting from Porta Romana
and proceeding along the main road - Decumanus Maximus
- we will visit the old metropolis and Piazzale della
Vittoria.
Next we
will visit the baths of Neptune, one of the public services of the
city constructed by Adriano and ornated with fine
mosaics.
Behind
the Bath’s of Neptune, the Firemen’s barrack of the
Adrian’s age. The visit will continue with the
Theatre
erected by Agrippa in the 1st century b.c. From the top of the
staircase you have a beautiful view of the excavations.
After
having visited the
House of Diana we will reach the centre of Ostia where we
will be able to admire the Forum, the political centre
of Ostia, the Temple of Rome and Augustus and the Baths.
The
excursion will end with a visit of the Basilica: a large aula in the
form of rectangle encircled by an arcade, on the right side of which
we find the Round temple dating from the 3rd century.
