Ostia Antica Chapter 2: The Significance of the Site/ Rome's Reflection - Ancient Rome Live

When we look at archaeological sites throughout the Mediterranean, Ostia Antica best represents what imperial Rome looked like. Walking through Ostia is like walking through a miniature, industrialized Rome. At the same time, the city had unique features in its role as the "warehouse" and "clearing house" of Rome. Each video is a co-production between the AIRC and Northeastern University (Prof. Vincent Rocchio). Filming was done in May 2010. The NEU film students who made the individual videos are cited at the end of each segment; the Institute thanks them for all of their hard work in an engaging, outdoor environment. All rights to these videos belong to the American Institute for Roman Culture through the Superintendency of Ostia Antica. For further inquiries, contact [e-mail].

Thank you for making all of these videos about Ostia available. I'm going back there next year for a closer look and this time I want to really understand what I'm looking at!

Portus, only 2 miles away, should be thought of together with Ostia: Portus as the industrial zone, Ostia as the residential. No?
