Domus Augustana. Upper Peristyle
Inscription.
The ground floor of the "private" sector of the palace was arranged around a porticoed courtyard with coloured marble columns, identical to that in the "public" sector; at the centre was a large pool within which a small temple was built at a late period, accessed from a small bridge on arches. At the sides of the peristyle were various living and banqueting rooms, some of which still bear traces of their fine coloured marble floors. On the walls of one of these rooms the remains of frescoes on Christian themes (now severely damaged) were found, belonging to a late oratory.
Erected by Parco Archeologico del Colosseo.
