Ostia Antica
 Ostia Antica-strada01.jpg
Thought to be the oldest settlement in Rome, Ostia still houses some of the oldest relics of antiquity from Roman culture. The local museum exhibits ancient works of art and architecture, while the remains of ancient town buildings are known for how well they have been preserved through time. A stroll through the grounds gives visitors a greater sense of early Roman life.
As a harbor town, Ostia transported valuable goods to the city of Rome along Ostia Antica, a significant road that stretched along the seashore. During his reign, Julius Caesar improved upon the town and its iconic road for more efficient delivery of grains to the capital city. The town and road are now a public wonder, showing us just how similar ancient life was to its modern counterpart. |
