A hill built with millions of clay fragments
Artificial hill in the port area of ancient Rome, near the warehouses (horrea). From the Latin mons testaceus, commonly called “Monte dei Cocci”, consists of numerous layers of terracotta fragments of amphorae, used for the transport of goods, which were systematically discharged and accumulated after being emptied in the nearby river port, activity continued for about two centuries. The oil amphorae used by the intense trade with the regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea were no longer reusable, the problem of disposal was solved in this place, where the fragments were stacked with maximum economy.

Route between the city and its ancient harbor
Is among the most majestic and best preserved gates of the entire circle of the Aurelian walls. Formerly called Porta Ostiensis, because from there began, and still begins today, the Via Ostiense, the road that connects Rome to the ancient port of Ostia. Built in the 3rd century A.D. and structured on two bays, on the sides of the door there are two half-round crenellated towers and inside a small fortification known as “Castelletto” that perhaps housed the garrison that was to defend Rome from invasions. Inside the Museum of the Via Ostiense exhibits important finds which tell the story of the ancient route that connected Rome to Ostia.
