Summary:

The port of Rome, Ostia, located south of the mouth of the Tiber, is an exceptional site for studying the religious life of an ancient city. Since the foundation of the Roman colony at the end of the 4th century BCE, gods and men have lived together in the city. Their common destiny will last until the last attestations of polytheistic cults at the end of the 5th century. Military port under the Republic, having a fundamental role in the supply of the capital, from the 2nd century BC, Ostia is a city both special and exemplary. It represents an extraordinary laboratory for those who want to know the cults during Antiquity: communities and individuals practice various and varied cults, "ancestral" or "foreign". The gods make the heart of the city beat, as the documentation shows, particularly for the first centuries of our era, when devotees of the gods, Jews and Christians coexist.
