On Wednesday we took another trip for class. We rode the train about 15 miles southwest of Rome down the Tiber river to the town of Ostia Antica which is about 2 miles from the Mediterranean coast. In ancient times this city was actually located right on the shore, but because of thousands of years of silting and ocean level changes the town is now 2 miles from the coast. Ostia Antica was the harbor town for Rome guarding passage into the city. It was pretty eye opening and jaw dropping to walk through these ruins dating back to 500 BC.
