La Casa delle Vestali, o Atrium Vestae, venne messa in luce da Rodolfo Lanciani nel corso degli scavi eseguiti negli anni 1882-1884. In particolare gli ambienti, ora aperti al pubblico, sono stati rinvenuti in seguito alla rimozione del grande muro di recinzione degli Orti Farnesiani e degli strati di interro, caratterizzati da uno spessore anche di venti metri rispetto al piano di calpestio antico. Subito dopo la scoperta ebbero inizio i lavori di sistemazione delle strutture e dei reperti lapidei rinvenuti, parte dei quali, successivamente esposti nell'Antiquarium forense, sono ora allestiti negli ambienti del settore SE, dopo un accurato intervento di recupero conservativo tra il 2013 e il 2020. Le recenti indagini archeologiche hanno consentito di acquisire nuovi dati sulle vicende che hanno interessato il complesso architettonico. Il rinvenimento del suolo naturale subito sotto i piani pavimentali imperiali conferma che il lato est dell'Atrium a sud della antica Via Nova, prima delle ristrutturazioni neroniane conseguenti all'incendio del 64 d.C, doveva essere verosimilmente occupato dal bosco sacro, il Lucus

The House of the Vestals, or Atrium Vestae, was brought to light by Rodolfo Lanciani during excavations conducted in 1882-1884. In particular, the rooms, now open to the public, were found following the removal of the large outer wall of the Orti Farnesiani and the layers of soil, up to twenty meters thick overlying the ancient floor level. Immediately after its discovery, work began on the arrangement of the structures and the stone remains found, some of which, subsequently exhibited in the Antiquarium of the Forum, are now on display in the SE sector, after careful conservation work between 2013 and 2020. Recent archaeological investigations have made it possible to acquire new information about the events affecting the architectural complex. The discovery of natural soil immediately below the imperial pavements confirms that the east side
