The theatre, next to the decumanus, keeps its tiers of seats and is used in summer for the Ostia Antica festival. Behind it is the Piazzale delle Corporazioni, a colonnaded square where shipowners and traders from all over the Mediterranean had their offices: in front of each, a black-and-white mosaic with their ship, port or merchandise. Climb to the top of the tiers to see the whole square. From mid-December to the end of March the mosaics are covered.
