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

    


Despite its fame, however, Ostia has never been subject of a major exhibition, 
neither at home, nor abroad. The presentation in Geneva is therefore a world first, 
thanks to joint efforts of Geneva University and the Musée d'art et d'Histoire, 
and to the kindness and assistance of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Ostia. 
More than four hundred items are on display in the exhibition – many of them 
recently discovered. They illustrate all aspects of this model Roman city.
