Ostia was a port of republican Rome and a commercial centre under the empire. The Romans considered Ostia their first colony and attributed its founding (for the purpose of salt production) to their fourth king. At the height of Ostia’s prosperity in the early 2nd century ce, its population was approximately 50,000. The growing population was accommodated by means of tall brick apartment buildings of three, four, and five stories. During the Ancient Ostia Private Tour you will discover the floors paved with mosaic, and the walls elaborately painted and you will walk down the main street, the Decumanus Maximus, you will see ancient houses, taverns, baths, grocers and apartments. Marvel at still-intact mosaics and enjoy the view of the amphitheater.

Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica

In Ostia the smallest details of daily life in the ancient world can be recreated with astonishing precision and you may be amazed to discover how little some things have changed. Stroll through an ancient bakery and see up close the mills and ovens that produced huge quantities of bread for a starving population, and admire the mosaics that pay homage to the bounty of the sea at a fishmonger. Your best bet is to enter the extraordinary thermopolium – the ancient world's equivalent of a fast-food restaurant – where the menu is advertised in vibrant mosaics on the walls. You can still practically smell the pungent aroma of fish garum sauce lingering in the air.
