Field Trip - Ostia

The field trip today was great! We went to Ostia, which was the port city of Rome. It was cool because it's pretty much an entire city which was abandoned, so it's still fairly intact. Here are some pictures!

This mosaic floor was in front of a shop and would show what the shop sold or what business it was part of. In this case, something to do with shipping.

We left Ostia a little after lunch and went to a museum in Rome, where I didn't take any tablet pictures. But there were many amazing statues, including some original Greek ones (these are rare because Greek statues were often made of bronze and therefore later melted down for the metal, usually all we have of these is Roman copies in marble). Then we came back home and are currently eating dinner. We might watch a movie or something tonight.

Bye!
