Ostia Antica
Description
Originally at the mouth of the Tiber, Ostia was the port of Rome, and one of the most important towns on the planet, then the Tiber silted up and the port moved. Today Ostia is over 2KM from the sea, but what survives is one of the most complete Roman towns, you really can imagine Roman life going on all around you as you walk down the streets, in and out of the houses, bakeries, baths and pubs.
