Ostia in Late Antiquity - Boin, Douglas (Georgetown University, Washington DC)

Ostia in Late Antiquity is the first book to narrate the life of Ostia Antica, Rome's ancient harbor, during the later empire, a period often synonymous in popular imagination with the 'fall of Rome'. Drawing on new archaeological research, including the author's own, this book offers a dynamic picture of what it was like to live during this transformative period.
