Ostia Antica Journey to the IIc AD |
|
Romes Ancient Port Town was in its heyday under the Emperor Hadrian. It boasted magnificent baths, a theatre, its own capital, a forum and huge storerooms which supplied all the grain for Rome.
In this exceptional walking tour through the ruins, you will be guided down the Decumanus Maximus by Gaius Vezius Optatus, a taxi driver in ancient Rome. He will introduce you to a host of characters who lived there, from the hydraulic engineers of the baths to the High Priestess and tavern owners who will show you the thriving city it once was.
This Artineraries Tour offers over an hour of audio in a tour which will take 3 to 4 hrs to complete on foot.

This is so much better than having just one guide talking at you, and all narrators on this tour are really good

This tour really catches your imagination! Really good fun! Did you know for instance that visiting a public toilet was just another chance for the Romans to meet up with friends and to catch up on the news?!
