Your experience

See the very well kept remains of Old Ostia which goes back to the 4th century BC.

It was once a main city of Rome because of its useful spot and the harbor that did exist there.

Ostia was a harbor at republican Rome; and at imperial times, it became a commercial city.

Salt works founded by the fourth king were the ostensible foundation of Ostia, which the Romans ever considered their first colony.

At its acme in the early 2nd century CE, there were about 50,000 people living in Ostia who were housed within brick apartment houses rising three to five stories high.

Some will see on this Ancient Ostia Private Tour preserved mosaic floors and richly painted walls; walking along Decumanus Maximus, through ancient houses and taverns, baths, grocers' shops, and apartment buildings—imagine yourself stunned already by well-preserved mosaics with a view over the amphitheater.
