Private tour of Ancient Ostia
€220
per personDiscovering a Roman town with the archaeologist Marisa
Visiting Ancient Ostia is a perfect daytrip from Rome: easy to reach by train and not very crowded.
This site is essential to understand the daily life in the Roman Empire.
The city was the harbour of Rome on the Tyrrhenian Sea, and was the center of Roman trades.
With the fall of the Roman Empire, the city was slowly abandoned due to the threat of repeated invasions and the decline of the commerce.
In addition natural disasters (floods) changed very much the area: Ostia has been covered and forgotten till the moment of the discovery, in 1938.
Walking on the main street you’ll admire mosaics, thermal baths, theater, ancient “public toilets”, apartment buildings, bars.
If you love Archaeology, dont’ miss the chance to visit this site.
