Ostia Antica, Rome - Reviews of Ostia Antica - IgoUgo
For at least 600 years this was a busy port, but the area declined suddenly following a reduction in commerce, and the onset of malaria.

Ostia Antica- Rome, Italy - VirtualTourist.com
I loved my visit to Ostia Antica, Rome's ancient port city. (The Latin ostium means mouth and Ostia was at the mouth of the Tevere - the Tiber River, which flows through Rome.)

Ostia Antica's Ruins | Museum/Attraction Review | Rome | Frommers.com
Ostia flourished for about 8 centuries before it began to wither away. By Constantine's time (4th c. A.D.), the worm had turned.
