Hi gang,
Had the privilege of a quick trip to Rome on Tues/Weds this week to
film amongst the archaeological excavations at the ancient Roman
seaport or Portus. I know Stan the Man is big on antiquity, as are
some others - Gianco! - so thought you might like a look:

You have a very cool job.
I like how the Romans called their port Port
It is in a town called Ostia. I don't recall from any Latin books or
histories it ever being called Portus, so I was very confused when the
archaeologists described it as Rome's only port - I wondered how they could
have forgotten about Ostia. A little googling sorted that out.

I was somewhat confused about that as well, having just done some study
of the insulae in Ostia.
