It was inhabited from the 3rd century BC until the 6th century AD.

[edit] History

Ostra is little mentioned by ancient authors, but excavations there have brought to light remains of various buildings and several inscriptions. Pliny mentions with it another ancient town, Suasa, 5 miles west. Neither city survived the classical period.
