Ancient Ostia

When we think of life in ancient Rome, we immediately think about the ancient city of Pompeii in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. Many don’t know that just a 20-minute drive from Rome there is another ancient city, the port of Ostia, just as spectacular and just as well preserved. By wandering the ruins, you will learn about the everyday life of Romans, their homes, their communal baths, and their religious life.
