Ostia in Chicago/Balbo Monument
Ostia in Chicago

Here is a link to the Ostia column/Balbo Monument - this is a Roman column given to Chicago by Mussolini in the early 30s. They plucked it from an ancient Roman ruin. The column was originally infront of the Italian exhibition at the Century of Progress Exposition. It's still in the same place just off the lake shore bike path isolated amongst green fields. Not much else around there now. Also included: a link to a map of Ostia.
