Ostia Antica

We went to Ostia Antica yesterday, which is Rome's ancient seaport. We were surprised how large it actually was! As it is today, Ostia Antica is 84 square acres, which is two thirds of the city's original size. It had an amphitheater (which is still used in the summer time for classic plays), bath houses, temples, a forum, and many business and houses. It took us three hours to see it all. We hope you enjoy the photos, and please go if you are ever in Rome! It is well worth the trip.

The Decuman Massimo was the main street of Ostia Antica made of ancient basalt paving slabs.

Oh no. Casey's body turned to stone!

This is the Mill of Silvanus. It still has 4 standing millstones in it!

Thermopolium of Via di Diana. This was basically a restaurant.
