Rione X Campitelli in Roma in Città metropolitana di Roma Capitale, Latium, Rome, Italy — Central Italy (Tyrrhenian Coast)
La Domus Augustana / The Domus Augustana
Adjacent to and connected with the large public areas of the so-called Domus Flavia was the private sector of Domitian's palace, traditionally known as the Domus Augustana and arranged on two levels: one at the same level as the Domus Flavia and a basement storey with different architectural and functional characteristics. On the upper floor, the entrance sector, a vast uncovered area, is poorly preserved; it led into a porticoed courtyard (peristyle) with a pool at the centre and a series of residential apartments at the sides. About ten metres below was the lower storey of the palace, intimate and secluded, with a courtyard with an original fountain and luxuriously decorated rooms, as well as some small rooms where the emperor lived his private life. The sequence of spaces in this "private" sector ended in a monumental curved façade overlooking the Circus Maximus.
