Ostia Antica

The city of Ostia Antica dates from the 3rd C B.C. It was an important harbour city outside of Rome, and much of the buildings, frescoes, and mosiacs are still well preserved.

After paying to enter, you are turned loose and free to wander throughout the maze of ruins. The city is large and much of it is still grown over with bushes and vines, creating a feeling of being in the secret garden.

This mosaic was the floor in a family's house (a wealthy family). Me and Amy are checking out the public bathrooms.

I was peering into this building and accidentally leaned against the wall and almost crumbled the entire city of Ostia Antica. The wall withstood over 2,000 years of weather damage until I showed up, oops. Don't worry, it was just that one brick haha
