Description
Ostia Antica Via delle Tombe by Debra Martz
...........................
A columbarium with niches for urns along the Via delle Tombe near the entrance to "Area Archeoligica di Ostia Antica."
Ostia was founded around the 4th century BC by King Anco Marzio and became the harbour of Rome, situated at the mouth of the Tiber. Throughout the following centuries, a flourishing trade and business center developed. Following the Barbarian invasions, the decline of Ostia began when the port was abandoned and became covered by silt over time.
The archaelogical excavations undertaken at the beginning of the XIX century have brought the ancient city back to light, a rare witness to 900 years of Roman civilization.
