''Perhaps the best example of early Roman imperial machismo, Nero had this gaudy monstrosity built after the Great Fire of Rome. Thought to have been as big as 300 acres, this gilded and bejewelled palace contained vineyards, pastures with flocks, groves and a manmade lake. To top it off, Nero commissioned a 35 meter tall bronze statue of himself to be placed just outside the main entrance reassuring any doubters as to who exactly owned the building.''


''The palace was known as a party villa considering there were over 300 rooms, none of which were sleeping quarters. The list of ridiculous extravagances goes on forever, one standout being a mechanism, powered by slaves, that rotated the domed ceiling of the grand dining hall "as the heavens" while raining rose petals onto Nero's guests below.''

Nero's Golden Palace (Latin: Domus Aurea) was a vast landscaped palace built by Emperor Nero in ancient Rome. It was later completely obliterated and superseded by the Baths of Emperor Trajan, which were built above it.

The palace survived underground, interred in soil, and during the Renaissance it housed a Lair of Romulus. The Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore visited this lair shortly after his arrival in Rome.

History[edit | edit source]

Nero's Golden Palace was a lavish palace built by the Roman Emperor Nero after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE. Some people claim that he intentionally started the fire to make room for his palace on the Esquiline Hill. It is also likely that Nero used the aqueducts to build his palace because they did not give water to civilians anymore for a time.[1]

However, after Nero committed suicide in 68 CE, the Roman Emperors Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian built on top of Nero's Palace, effectively burying it. Finally, Trajan built his famous bathhouse on top of what was left of it, causing it to be forgotten about until the Renaissance.[2] During this time, a pagan cult, the Followers of Romulus, took over the ruined palace and kept one of their Romulus scrolls there until it was discovered by Ezio Auditore in 1500.[3]
