The Michelin Guide's review
The 2C Capitol, dedicated to the Capitoline triade (Jupiter, Juno, Minerva), was the largest temple in Ostia. The forum, extended in the 2C, has retained some of the portico columns which once surrounded it. At the end of the square stands the Temple of Rome and Augustus, previously covered in marble, while other sights worth noting are the Casa del Larario (House with Lararium), with a graceful brick niche, and the Horrea Epagathiana (warehouse), with an attractive columned doorway and façade.
