Ostia was Rome's first colony. According to the legend Ostia was founded around 620 a. C. by the fourth king of Rome, Ancus Marcius but what we will visit it will be mostly the imperial phase (starting from 2000 years ago). Ostia has a look very similar to Pompei. But not many foreigners know how special this place is. Ostia is Latin for "mouth", the mouth of the Tiber because the ancient roman city of Ostia was in antiquity situated at the mouth of the river Tiber, some 30 kilometres to the west of Rome. Ostia was Rome's seaport, but due to silting the site now lies 3 kilometres (2 miles) from the sea. The site is noted for the excellent preservation of its ancient buildings, magnificent frescoes and impressive mosaics. This tour you permit you to have a full idea of how a romans city looked like.
