Ostia Antica is an ancient Roman military and commercial town beside the town of Ostia south of the airport on the coast. The Tiber river runs beside it. It was just over an hour bus ride to the site from Civitiavecchia. Ostia Antica had it's origins several centuries BC and was developed in the early centuries AD. The archeological digging continues to this day and things are remarkably well preserved.
Some of the marbel wall coverings are still visible.
The Theatre
Some of the marble tiling
And finally the communal toilets. But they did separate the males from the females.
Tomorrow we land in Naples. Peter and Janine go to Sorrento and then Pompeii which we've seen before. Deen and I head to Capri for the day.
