Ostia Antica, Italy












My first excursion outside of Rome was to Ostia Antica, Italy. It is located about an hour outside the center of Rome and contains a rich history. Ostia was a prominent harbor town that acted as a center of trade for the larger city of Rome. Ostia was in many ways a smaller version of Rome. We were given a guided tour of the ruins.
