The archeological site of Ostia Antica lies about 25 kilometers, or 15.5 miles, southwest of the center of Rome, and the park is easily accessible by the Rome Metro system. Yet, for many of the visitors who visit Rome to see the ruins of the ancient empire, a trip to Ostia is often not considered. While Rome has many grandiose temples, buildings and monuments of an empire, the ruins at Ostia Antica reflect a work a day, commercial port town.Nevertheless, Ostia Antica does have its charms and unique opportunities for those who want to learn about life in the ancient Roman world. In Rome, although many of the ancient buildings are located in and around the Roman Forum and the Capitoline Hill, the ruins of other structures are scattered throughout the city center among buildings that have been built in the subsequent centuries. Ostia, on the other hand, has been preserved as an intact city with very few modern structures on the site. Not unlike the city of Pompeii that was buried by volcanic ash in 79 AD, the city of Ostia was abandoned in the sixth century AD and left to be covered by Tiber River flood waters and the shifting sands of the Italian coast.Discoveries at the site in the early nineteenth century AD and excavations that began in the 1880's (and have continued off and on to the present day) have exposed the remains of a remarkably complex and vibrant community with significant ties to the capital of the Roman Empire. Established as a military encampment during the fourth century BC, Ostia prospered as a port city in the late Republic. During the early empire, Ostia became an important part of the food supply for the city of Rome. From the second century AD through the beginning of the third century AD, Ostia was at the height of its prosperity. With the support of a succession of emperors, the city was rebuilt with magnificent construction projects. By the middle of the third century AD, however, there were clear signs of the decline of Ostia as the shipping activities moved to Portus, the new port on the north side of the Tiber River.For the visitor today, Ostia Antica can be difficult to comprehend without some kind of guide. For one thing, the site is over 69 hectares, or 170.5 acres, in size. Knowing what to see and where to look is often a confusing task. Modern excavators have divided Ostia into five regions, and even then, there is an enormous amount to see and understand in any one region.This guide focuses on a part of Ostia that corresponds in large part to Regio II, an area that was demarcated in the early first century BC by the urban praetor Gaius Caninius as land set aside for public use. The necropolis along the Via Ostiense as one enters the archeological site is included as a prelude to sites of the city. The public land of Caninius (ager publicus) lies on the north side of the Decumanus Maximus, the main east-west street of Ostia, between the Porta Romana, the eastern gate of Ostia, and the Castrum, the original fortified camp of Ostia. The public land extended from the Decumanus Maximus to the Tiber River.

Rome and the Northern Frontier. 9 C.E. One seeks revenge. One desires freedom. One craves victory. One demands justice. When his parents were killed by a barbarian attack, Marcus was rescued as an infant by his adopted uncle. Will his plan for revenge bring him the peace of mind he desperately desires? Her oppressive home life has forced Helena to seek freedom. Will her fights in the arena bring her closer to her goal or will her unexpected encounter with Marcus disrupt her search? A barbarian from the far Germanic north, Arminius, now a Roman citizen, leads a Roman auxiliary unit. Can he plot a victory over those who ripped him away from his parents when he was a child? Rakan, a centurion at the Port Ostia fortress near Rome, was one of Arminius’s former instructors. Is justice in the stars as he tries to solve a string of grisly murders which may be tied to any one of them? The threads of these lives lead to the Teutoburg Forest where three Roman legions will clash with the Germanic tribes. The world will be forever changed.

This book traces the history of Rome's domain lands from the beginning to the establishment of the Empire. The book covers the origin and growth of the idea of private property in land, the expansion of ager publicus (public land) through conquest, and its absorption into private property. This includes a history of the agrarian laws, as land distributions were made and colonies established only in accordance with previously enacted laws. The book provides an insight into how agrarian movements have influenced Roman constitutional history and how a proper understanding of the former is necessary for interpreting the latter.

Explanation of the success and failure of the Roman economy is one of the most important problems in economic history. As an economic system capable of sustaining high production and consumption levels, it was unparalleled until the early modern period. This volume focuses on how the institutional structure of the Roman Empire affected economic performance both positively and negatively. An international range of contributors offers a variety of approaches that together enhance our understanding of how different ownership rights and various modes of organization and exploitation facilitated or prevented the use of land and natural resources in the production process. Relying on a large array of resources - literary, legal, epigraphic, papyrological, numismatic, and archaeological - chapters address key questions regarding the foundations of the Roman Empire's economic system. Questions of growth, concentration and legal status of property (private, public, or imperial), the role of the state, content and limitations of rights of ownership, water rights and management, exploitation of indigenous populations, and many more receive new and original analyses that make this book a significant step forward to understanding what made the economic achievements of the Roman empire possible.

The public/private distinction is fundamental to modern theories of the family, religion and religious freedom, and state power, yet it has had different salience, and been understood differently, from place to place and time to time. The volume brings together essays from an international array of experts in law and religion, in order to examine the public/private distinction in comparative perspective. The essays focus on the cultures and religions of the ancient Mediterranean, in the formative periods of Greece and Rome and the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Particular attention is given to the private exercise of religion, the relation between public norms and private life, and the division between public and private space and the place of religion therein.
