Rome Audio Tour: Lost Legends of Ostia’s Ancient City
A Roman port city lies quietly beneath your feet, its ancient streets echoing with the footsteps of merchants, senators, and soldiers who shaped empires and scandalized history. This self-guided audio tour leads you through Ostia Antica’s winding lanes and crumbling mosaics, uncovering secrets most visitors miss in the rush to Rome’s center. What bloody event at the bustling forum nearly toppled the city’s ruling council? Why did the firemen of Ostia’s Fire Station become embroiled in conspiracy and forbidden worship? Who left a curious inscription in the bathhouse that scholars still debate today? Wander past shadows where power games unfolded and everyday Romans gambled with fate. Follow hidden stories through evocative ruins and let the past transform how you see the present. Plug in your headphones. The city whispers. Will you answer its call and unlock what others overlook?
