Ostia Antica. Lazio. Italy. View along the basalt stone paved Decumanus Maximus towards the Roman theatre, built by Agrippa in the late first century AD and enlarged by Septimius Severus in the 2nd century AD. Originally there were three tiers of seats and accommodated up to 4000 people. Founded at the mouth of the Tiber 30 kilometres to the west of Rome, Ostia was the sea gateway and chief port of ancient Rome and its well preserved ruins endure in a beautiful park of Umbrella pines and cypresses.
