Ostia Scavi - Basilica Schola di Traiano

Returning to the Decumanus Maximus, on the right can be seen first the fourth century Christian basilica, so far the only Christian church found in Ostia. Opposite lies the Schola di Traiano (second/third century), the meeting place of ship-owners and mariners and named after a statue of Trajan found there. Prior to its erection dwellings stood here; in the southeastern corner there still stands a peristyle with a nymphaeum.
