Portus was a large artificial harbour of Ancient Rome. Sited on the north bank of the north mouth of the Tiber, on the Tyrrhenian coast, it was established by Claudius and enlarged by Trajan to supplement the nearby port of Ostia.
The archaeological remains of the harbour are near the modern-day Italian village of Porto within the Comune of Fiumicino, just south of Rome in Lazio (ancient Latium).
Rome's original harbour was Ostia. Claudius constructed the first harbour on the Portus site, 4 km (2.5 mi) north of Ostia, enclosing an area of 69 hectares (170 acres), with two long curving moles projecting into the sea, and an artificial island, bearing a lighthouse, in the centre of the space between them. The foundation of this lighthouse was provided by filling one of the massive Obelisk ships, used to transport an obelisk from Egypt to adorn the spina of Vatican Circus, built during the reign of Caligula. The harbour thus opened directly to the sea on the northwest and communicated with the Tiber by a channel on the southeast.

Plot: This film is an action/adventure/thriller story, cutting across all genres of film aesthetics. Although, certain supernatural powers are exhibited extensively, the film's main theme is a confrontation between good and evil. "The Divine Emerald" is an adventure of a normal, "nine-to-five," kind of guy, who lays down his life, wealth, love life, and all comfort of life for a heroic act of delivering the Universe from the damnable clutches of LUCIFER. Today, the world has turned as ambiguously as it can be, and it is difficult to find anyone to volunteer his service, sincerely, for the betterment of his fellow human beings. Everybody has become self-centered, blindly vouching for him/herself. Ryan Grover is a different personality; he is ready to step-in and save the humanity from an imminent doom.

Genres: ,For the past ten years The Portus Project has undertaken major archaeological investigations at the ancient port of Rome. Nearly 2,000 years ago Portus was an immense complex of graneries, warehouses, military encampments and administration blocks, with a huge palace at its centre. The study of this site has led to many discoveries which have much to tell us about life in ancient Rome. The project is one of the first major excavations to use cutting edge technology on a regular basis. And this new technology has been vital in solving a mystery that has puzzled archaeologists for many years. The Portus Project is an international team led by archaeologists from the University of Southampton and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Project partners include, The British Sch...

Sign up now at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/portus Professor Simon Keay explains the importance of Portus to ancient Rome and describes the kind of cargo that traveled through the harbour to the great city. Portus provided a huge facility for ships to supply Rome with goods. This role accelerated during the 2nd century as demand increased, and was met with a corresponding increase in infrastructure, together with the construction of many new warehouses at Ostia, around 3 km, to the south, and an additional port at Centumcellae (Civitavecchia), to the north of Rome. #UoSFLPortus At Fut...

'Archaeology of Portus: exploring the lost harbour of ancient Rome' is the second run of a free online course by the University of Southampton available on FutureLearn.com. The Roman harbour city of Portus lay at the heart of an empire that extended from Scotland to Iraq. Established by Claudius and enlarged by the emperor Trajan with spoils of the Dacian wars, the port was the conduit for everything the city of Rome required from its Mediterranean provinces: the food and, particularly grain, that fed the largest urban population of the ancient world, as well as luxuries of all kinds, building materials, people and wild animals for the arena. On this course you will chart a journey from the Imperial harbour to its connections a...

Alvor Algarve holidays Alvor was founded in 436 by the Carthaginian General Aníbal Barca as a commercial port, which he named Portus Hannibalis. The settlement grew around the sea, near the place called Vila Velha, where a Celtic castro dominated the river mouth during the Iron Age. It is likely that it was the Roman colony of Ipses, which was authorized to mint currency, and was absorbed during the Roman era. Taken by the Moors in 716, the settlement began to be referred to as Albur, and gained an impressive castle, with only vestiges remaining.
