Domus Aurea - Nero`s Golden House in Rome

The Domus Aurea was a vast landscaped palace built by the Emperor Nero in the heart of ancient Rome after the great fire in 64 AD had destroyed a large part of the city and the aristocratic palaces on the Palatine Hill. It replaced and extended his Domus Transitoria that he had built as his first palace complex on the site.
