I MISTERI DI OSTIA ANTICA |
|
| Leaving Civitavecchia and following the highway to Fiumicino , it takes about 45minutes /1hr to reach Ostia, the Roman city of the Imperial Age, situated at the mouth of the Tiber river. Ostia was founded around the 4th century BC by King Anco Marzio and became the harbour of Rome. Through the following centuries a flourishing trade and business center developed, until after the Barbarian invasions, when the port was abandoned and silted up heralding the decline of Ostia. During this walk through the ruins, the guide will enlighten guests to the cultural and social life of this historical settlement. The visit to Ostia Antica itself starts at Via delle Tombe which leads you to the ’Porta Romana’, one of the city’s three gates. This is the beginning of the Decumanus Maximus, the main thoroughfare that crosses the city from north east to south west. You will then arrive at the Terme di Nettuno where you can admire the beautiful black and white mosaics representing Neptune and Amphitrite, the theatre built by Agrippa, and the Forum which formed the centre of the city. Here you will discover the principle public buildings, Il Capitolium and the temple of Rome and Augustus, the Basilica and the large thermal baths. Nearby the forum square you will also find the House of Diana and the Thermopolium, an ancient Roman bar with a marble counter and a fresco depicting the fruit and foodstuffs that were sold there.
