Something really special to crown your roman
holidays. Not everybody realizes that, at only 30' from the Capital,
an extraordinary archeological site, as important and exciting as
Pompeii, awaits us: the impressive excavations of Ancient Ostia. This was the city-harbour
founded by ancient Romans, at the mouth of the Tiber, and wich later
was hidden by floods and oblivion up to our days. Its remnants are
thus better preserved than in Rome itself and offer us an
extraordinary testimonial of roman civilisation along its whole
evolution. By walking trough the ancient roads we will plunge
straight into the past everyday's life of a refined and dinamic city
where the cult for arts and pleasures was sovereign. You will admire
in fact the riuns of majestic public buildings, like temples, theatres,
fora or basilicas, as well as of the private ones, like
houses, shops, inns, workshops etc., ranging from the
sumptuosus to the humblest. Particulary attractive are the famous
mosaics of the 12 thermal baths and of the various harbour offices
(Corporations Square). A further bonus: archeology spared the whole
area from modern artefacts turning it into a delicious natural
oasis, constantly cooled healtly sea breezes.
