During the month of September a team from the University of Kent and Humboldt University of Berlin will be excavating at the ancient city of Ostia, port of Rome, focusing on the foro della statua eroica and the palaistra of the forum baths.
You can follow our progress on-line at www.lateantiqueostia.wordpress.com. We hope particularly to focus on the early medieval occupation of the area and also on the last repairs to the paving.
Best wishes
