The Ruins Of Ostia ~ 27th March

We arrived in Ostia, which is a small port town that was on the coast 2000 years ago give or take a few hundred years, at about 11:00. The town of Ostia - also the home of Flavia Gemina from the 'Roman Mystery' series of books (check it out!!!) was in ruins ;-(. Temples and houses were no more. It took a long time to walk all the way across it but on the way we saw a well and mini amphitheatre! Did you know that Ostia is the largest preserved archeological site in Europe! On the way we decided to play tig in the mass of mazey ruins. There were loads of small rooms to quickly dive in and hide.  Eventually, we got to the other end and found a museum. Inside there were sculptures, statues and paintings.  It was very exciting to visit this place that I had visitited before in Caroline Lawrence's fictional world.
