    I'm not following if you meant that Ostia shouldn't be the port for Latium or whether its structure should be made up of stone or wood (also we don't even know if the port in the picture is going to be like that, at the start of the campaign)...
    I think even Carthage's port, as is commonly viewed (structurally), dates after the second punic war; while as for traffic in Latium, Ostia was the most important one. Although I'm not sure, Capua and Neapolis might've had more activity...
