Your experience
Get ready to see the shockingly well-kept remains of Ancient Ostia from the 4th century BC.
Mostly a main Roman city because of its important spot and having a harbor, Ostia was the port for republican Rome and later became a marketplace during the time of the empire.
Romans thought of Ostia as their first colony; they credited its start—initially for salt farming—to their fourth king.
By far its best times in the early 2nd century CE, around 50,000 people lived in Ostia.
This rising number of people found homes in tall brick box-type buildings that had three, four, and five floors.
During the Private Tour of Ancient Ostia, you will see floors decorated with mosaics and walls carefully painted.
Below a walk in Decumanus Maximus, the main street where you meet ancient houses, inns, baths, grocers and places to stay.
Enjoy the nice mosaics and see the amphitheater.
