2) Ancient Ostia
Wednesday, September 12, 2001
Free pick-up service at hotels from approximately 8:15 to 8:45 am
All-inclusive price per person: Itl 80,000 / Euro 41.31
After a trip of just 30
minutes along Via dei Fori Imperiali, with views of
the Colisseum, Tiberina Island and the Synagogue,
after crossing the Tiber and taking the Via del
Mare, we reach ancient Ostia. This was the
ancient port of Roma. It was founded in the 4th century
BC, and as the power of Roma grew Ostia became
more and more important, mainly as a naval base
but also as the "Emporium of Roma" and as a
transit point for important representatives of
the cultural and political life of that period.
Ostia declined with the financial and political
crisis of the Roman Empire. Subsequent raids on the city, which was virtually
defenceless by then but still rich in precious
materials, finally convinced the few people still living there to abandon it.
Today, Ostia is just as it was in ancient times:
an entire city, whose shape and outline make it
easy to imagine life in the Roman era.
The excavations at Ostia, started at the
beginning of the last century, make comparison
with Roma inevitable, not in terms of
architectural value but as an overall view of how
life was organised in the
Roman world. This suggestive visit magically
leads us into an ancient world as we admire the
ancient Necropolis, Piazzale della Vittoria, Neptune's Baths
with their wonderful mosaics, the
firemen's headquarters, the theatre built by
Agrippa, Via dei Mulini and Diana's house. We
reach the forum Thermae, the Basilica and the
Round Temple. Outside the city is the Synagogue,
which was the most ancient Hebraic seat in the
Western world. Return to Rome and the hotel or
the nearest point.
