More than 12 graves have been discovered in Ostia, a Roman port city at the mouth of the Tiber River. Dated to the 3rd-4th century CE the graves probably belong to Christians. They surround a central grave that belonged to someone of religious and social importance. <\/p>\n
This tomb has the form of a round mausoleum, lined with travertine. The building was built in the late Republic, to be used again in late antiquity. Archaeologists say that the grave may belong to a family member who wanted to be buried in an important location, probably related to one of the saints.<\/p>\n
The area where the necropolis was located is now Parco dei Ravennati, once a suburb of Ostia on the west bank of the Tiber. The necropolis was in use from the early Empire to the 5th century CE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40267,"template":"","class_list":["post-121113","odkrycia-rzymskie","type-odkrycia-rzymskie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/121113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/121113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
