Abstract

The article offers the views of the author regarding the discoveries of C. Bruun in his article "Water, oxygen isotopes and immigration to Ostia-Portus." The author applauded the study conducted by Bruun concerning the number of immigrants en route to Portus which is now an extinct city. The author recommends that in order to make the study more interesting, bioarchaeologists should find skeletal populations, aside from dental enamel, to support the mass migration of families to Rome.
