Virtual Model of Ostia Antica: Ostia Antica - the harbour of Ancient Rome

    

An unusually large number of baths and taverns catered for the relaxation of the 
citizens and, passing through, travellers. In this cosmopolitan city, many Eastern religions 
flourished and Christianity rapidly attracted new devotees. Nowadays, the ruins of the 
town of Ostia and its cemeteries, which are still being excavated and studied, 
are among the most beautiful and interesting in the Mediterranean. 
The city museum contains beautiful statues, and mural paintings.
