Domus Augustana
The Domus Augustana (literally "Augustan" - i.e., belonging to the emperor - "House") refers to an ancient palace complex on the Palatine Hill in Rome, which, together with the Domus Flavia, formed the Imperial Palace built by Domitian at the end of the 1st century AD.
The Domus Augustana was located on the southern edge of the Palatine Hill above the Circus Maximus, south of the Domus Flavia, which primarily consisted of representative buildings. In contrast, the Domus Augustana is primarily regarded as the imperial residential quarter. It was two stories high and featured a large courtyard in the middle. The eastern part of the palace consists of a large garden courtyard, traditionally referred to as the "Hippodrome" (horse racing track) due to its elongated shape. A large exedra on the east side was added under Hadrian.
