Visiting Ostia Antika was a real treat. The site was covered in beautiful wild flowers, and there was very little restriction on where you could go - you could explore the ruins virtually unimpeded.
Many of the walls were still decorated with colorful frescoes and friezes.
The sheer number of salvaged marble statues, signs, columns, and sarcophagi were staggering - a lot of the artifacts were "stored" in open hallways that were only guarded by flimsy iron gates.
