Ostia Antica

Ostia Antica was the location of the port of ancient Rome. The archelogical site is open to the public with a museum and an easy walking tour. It is easy to spend a day here. Both Dennis and I founnd wonderful inspiration here. Some of the sculpture is showing up in Dennis's prints. The site is a complete town with theater, baths, forum, temples, apartment complexes, wealthy homes and necrpolis or 'city of the dead'.

Many of the mosaic tile floors are covered with tarps trying to keep the weather off them as they try to figure how to restore them.
