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.
