1. Neronian Cryptoporticus / Criptoportico Neroniano Marker
The Cryptoporticus is one of the most distinctive monuments of the Palatine. It is an underground corridor, 130 metres in length, illuminated by basement windows. It connects the south side of the Domus Tiberiana to the so-called House of Livia. This covered passageway served to link the different parts of the imperial Palace in the Julio-Claudian period. Originally the vault was covered with fine white stucco, depicting cupids within decorative frames. Only a few fragments remain. While this stucco decoration has generally been dated to the age of Nero, it probably relates to an earlier period, the first half of the 1st century AD.
Criptoportico Neroniano
Il Criptoportico, uno dei monumenti piω caratteristici del Palatino, θ un corridoio seminterrato lungo 130 metri, illuminato da finestre a "bocca di lupo", che mette in comunicazione il versante sud della Domus Tiberiana con la c.d. casa di Livia. Questo passaggio coperto serviva a collegare i diversi nuclei del Palazzo imperiale in etΰ giulio-claudia. La volta era originariamente coperta da raffinati stucchi bianchi con amorini incorniciati da elementi decorativi, di cui sono conservati alcuni lacerti. Comunemente datato in etΰ neroniana, θ da attribuire probabilmente ad un epoca precedente, compresa nella prima metΰ del I secolo
