On the Palatine Hill in Rome stands the Domus Flavia, an ancient palace. Once part of an imperial complex, it has preserved remains.

History+

Construction of the Domus Flavia began under Emperor Domitian after 80 AD and was completed in 92 AD. This new construction became necessary after a three-day fire in 80 AD, not to be confused with Nero's Great Fire of Rome, destroyed Nero's Domus Transitoria and the Domus Tiberiana. To create a level area for the building project, which included the Domus Flavia, the Domus Augustana, and the Palatine Stadium, a depression between the two peaks of the Palatine Hill was filled in.
