Ostia
- A settlement in Latium
Ostia, at the mouth of the Tiber was the sea port for the city of Rome, providing Rome an easy means to enjoying all the riches of foreign lands.
Its excellent baths, its good cheer and its healthy site, fanned by the breezes of the Mediterranean, made Ostia a favorite resort with the pleasure-loving Romans.
A mint was moved to Ostia from Carthage in 308 AD, and then transferred from Ostia to Arelate in 313 AD.
