Street of the House of Diana in Ostia Antiqua, 1995
Via Casa di Diana: There are three places of interest along this street: the House of Diana, a tavern, and stairs leading to the second floor of an apartment flat for a commanding view.
The House of Diana is a great example of an insula (multi-storied tenement complex, where the lower middle-class lived). The House of Diana originally had three or four floors (reaching the 20-yard maximum height allowed by Ostia's building codes).
Across the street is an inn called the Insula of the Thermopolium. Belly up to this tavern's bar. You'll see display shelves for food and drinks for sale, a small sink, and scant remains of wall paintings.
Across the street, stairs lead to the top floor of the Insula of the Paintings. Climb these for a good view and a chance to imagine life as an apartment dweller in ancient Rome. Now, walk on toward the high red brick temple that marks Ostia's Forum.
