1. L'area della ex Vigna Barberini / Area of the Former Barberini Vineyard Marker
La grande area rettangolare denominata Vigna Barberini dal nome della famiglia che ne detenne il possesso fino al 1910, corrisponde ad un terrazzamento artificiale realizzato su quest'angolo del Palatino a partire dall'etΰ neroniano-flavia (64-96 d.C.). Prima di questo intervento la zona era occupata da dimore aristocratiche, una delle quali, con peristilio e raffinate decorazioni, θ stata messa in luce dagli scavi. Dopo l'incendio del 64 d.C. Nerone incluse nella proprietΰ imperiale l'intero spazio e lo adibμ probabilmente a giardino tra cui erano lussuosi padiglioni, come la possente torre circolare messa recentemente in luce dagli scavi, forse una panoramica sala da pranzo (Cenatio rotunda).
I Flavi (69-96 d.C.) ricostruirono il giardino che fu circondato da un portico. Secondo alcuni studiosi qui sono da localizzarsi gli Adonaea, "il giardino di Adone" che gli autori antichi descrivono all'interno del palazzo imperiale. Il portico fu ricostruito dopo l'incendio del 191 d.C. e poi sotto il regno di Elagabalo (218-222 d.C.). Vi sorse al centro, allora, un grande tempio dedicato da Elagabalo

The large rectangular area known as the Barberini Vineyard after the family who owned it until 1910 is an artificial terrace created in this corner of the Palatine hill in the Neronian-Flavian period (AD 64-96). Before this intervention the area was occupied by aristocratic residences, one of which, with a peristyle and refined decorations, has been brought to light by excavations. After the fire of AD 64, Nero incorporated the whole area into the imperial estate and probably used it as a garden with luxurious pavilions, like the massive circular tower recently uncovered by excavations, which may have been a panoramic dining room (Cenatio rotunda).
The Flavian emperors (AD 69-96) rebuilt the garden and surrounded it with a portico. According to some scholars this was the site of the Adonaea or "garden of Adonis" described by ancient authors as being inside the imperial palace. The portico was rebuilt after the fire of AD 191 and again during the reign of Elagabalus (AD 218-222). At this time a large temple dedicated by Elagabalus to a sun god
