The Portus Project is a research initiative between the University of Southampton (Simon Keay & Graeme Earl), the British School at Rome (Simon Keay and Andrew Wallace-Hadrill), the University of Cambridge (Martin Millett) and the Soprintendenza per I Beni Archeologici di Ostia; it also has the collaborative involvement of the Universities of Oxford (Andrew Wilson), Warwick (Alan Chalmers) and Bath (Mark Wilson-Jones) and specialists in the UK, and the Universities of Aix-en-Provence (Centre Camille Jullian) and Seville, and the Institut Catala d'Arqueologia Classica (Tarragona) elsewhere in Europe.
The project is also grateful to the Duke Sforza Cesarini for continued access to this land. The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the University of Southampton, the Soprintendenza per I Beni Archeologici di Ostia, the University of Cambridge and the British School at Rome.
It is part of a broader initiative based at the British School at Rome and directed by S. Keay which aims to enhance our understanding of the relationship between Rome, Portus and the ports of the Roman Mediterranean and which involves a number of European partners.
This website designed and assembled by Nicole Smith, is based upon an earlier site focusing on the virtual reality reconstruction of Portus funded by the AHRC Research Dissemination Scheme in 2005. The earlier site was designed by Heather Papworth and assembled by Yuewei Zhang.
