Rome Domus Aurea

[EnhancedNightmare]

I heard that some parts collapsed in 2010. Is it true? Such a shame :(

[conor845]

@EnhancedNightmare yeah it's really sad, I think it's currently closed to the public for restoration/repairs.

BRAVISSIMO! bel video! Mi è servito molto grazie

C'est un magnifique travail qui au-delà de la qualité de la restitution permet de comprendre parfaitement la localisation de la maison.

Bravissimo

El Coliseo fue edificado sobre la laguna artificial de Nerón. Que lastima que se perdieron la casa y los jardines. Me gustan más que el monocorde diseño del Coliseo, una especie de batea gigante.

This reconstruction is inaccurate, especially the placement of the house with respect to the current orientation of the Colosseum.

[wrotkowa]

@fourlayers i don't think so. Colosseum was made righjt on the Neronian reservoir

[fluffytom82]

@fourlayers You are probably thinking about the wing on the Oppio, which is the most famous remain of the Domus Aurea. The red and black rooms we see are reconstructions of rooms in that wing of the palace, but when the camera pans out we can't see it. It would be somewhere on the bottom of the screen, left under the Colosseum.

The building you see next to the lake is an extension of the vestibule.

what is he saying?

[mgnini1961]

Suetonius says that Nero when the edifice (his Golden House) was finished in this style and dedicated, he approved it, saying he felt at last that he was able to live as a man.

[mgnini1961]

...e quando ledificio fu in tal modo terminato e dedicato egli (Nerone) lo approvò dicendo che finalmente sentiva di poter abitare come un uomo!

and when the edifice was finished in this style and dedicated, he (Nero) approved it, saying he felt at last that he was able to live as a man!

Suetonius, Nero, 31
