Domus Aurea, The Golden House of Nero, Rome - Italy 4K Travel Channel
The Domus Aurea, the Golden House was built by Emperor Nero, as his palace in the center of Rome.
At the time of Nero, the palace extended from the Palatin up to the Esquilin, a part of the Caelius was also included. In the center, where the Coloseum stands today, was a large artificial lake. The area encompassed 80 ha. A number of jokes about the megalomania of the emperor circulated in Rome .
The previous palace, the Domus Transitoria, was still under construction when the great fire of Rome in AD 64 destroyed it.
After the fire in the Domus Aurea in the year 104 AD, the interiors, columns and sculptures were taken away and reused elsewhere. The palace was filled with soil to create a foundation for the Baths of Trajan. The Colosseum was set up on the place of the lake.
Today, only the part of the palace which was used as an entertainment area, is preserved. Most of the wall paintings were created by the Roman painter Fabullus. You still can see some fragments today.
The dome of the dining hall (one suspects at least that it was a dining hall) was made of unreinforced solid concrete. The dome was the largest of its time, until it was surpassed by the dome of the Pantheon. The dome rested on an octagon. On the south side, the room offered a clear view of the lake and the garden. From the north side, an artificial waterfall splashed through the room.
Many areas were covered with marble, of which nothing remains. The private rooms were gilded, hence the name Domus Aurea.
This caused a vaulted passage to collapse in 2010.
The height of the rooms and the dimensions of the halls were nearly unbelievable. The remains of the mural paintings conveyed at least an impression how it may have looked like originally.
It is still open up to 28.12. 2014. Afterwards the Domus Aurea ill be closed until 2018.

Die Domus Aurea, das goldene Haus, wurde von Kaiser Nero als Palast im Herzen von Rom gebaut.
Zur Zeit Neros erstreckte sich der Palast vom Palatin bis zum Esquilin, auch ein Teil des Caelius wurde mit einbezogen. In der Mitte, wo heute das Kolosseum steht, befand sich ein großer künstlicher See. Das Gebiet umfasste 80 ha. In Rom zirkulierten eine Reihe von Witzen über den Größenwahn ihres Kaisers.
Der noch im Bau befindliche Vorgängerbau Domus Transitoria wurde beim großen Brand von Rom 64 n. Chr. Zerstört.
Die Inneneinrichtungen, Säulen und Skulpturen wurden nach dem Brand der Domus Aurea 104 n. Chr. weggeschafft und woanders wiederverwendet. Der Palast wurde mit Erde aufgefüllt um ein Fundament für die Trajansthermen zu schaffen. Dort wo sich der See befand wurde das Kolosseum errichtet.
Heute ist nur der Teil der Anlage vorhanden, der als Unterhaltungspalast diente. Die Wände waren größtenteils vom römischen Maler Fabullus bemalt, wovon heute noch eine Reihe von Fragmenten erhalten sind.
Die Kuppel des Speisesaals (zumindest vermutet man, dass es ein Speisesaal war) war die erste Kuppel in einer Palastanlage aus unbewährtem Beton und die größte ihrer Zeit, bis sie von der Kuppel des Pantheon übertroffen wurde. Die Kuppel ruhte auf einem Achteck. Auf der Südseite gab der Raum den Blick auf den See und den Garten frei. Von der Nordseite plätscherte ein künstlicher Wasserfall durch den Raum.
Viele Räume waren mit Marmor verkleidet, wovon heute aber nichts mehr erhalten ist. Die Privatgemächer waren vergoldet, daher der Name Domus Aurea.
Sie ist noch bis 28.12. 2014 geöffnet. Danach erst wieder 2018.

ITALY: ROME: ARCHAEOLOGY: DOMUS AUREA REOPENS
Italian/Nat
Tourists to Rome can add another site to their list of must-visits - the Domus Aurea, which has been reopened to the public following major restoration.
The Domus Aurea, or Golden Palace, was one of history's fabled residences.
But its landlord - Roman emperor Nero - hardly had time to revel in its glories before his violent life met a violent end in 68 A-D.
Later, the Golden Palace lay under tons of dirt for centuries, before coming to light 500 years ago in a burst of Renaissance intellectual curiosity.
Eighteen years after the risk of collapse forced the palace's closure to tourists, the emperor's residence finally reopened on Wednesday.
The three (m) million U-S dollars restoration took three years, a year less than Nero's architects took to build the palace.
In ancient Rome, the construction of the Domus Aurea or Golden Palace was considered one of the city's craziest enterprises.
Building work began in 64 A-D after more than two thirds of Rome burnt down.
Emperor Nero used the free space for a new accommodation which, ultimately, sprawled across nearly 200 acres, covering a total of four districts.
The architects did everything imaginable to satisfy the emperor's megalomania.
The emperor's residence was an architectural masterpiece with vaulted ceilings once encrusted with pearls and covered with ivory.
Part of its splendour included a lake which, under later emperors, was drained to become the foundations of the Colosseum.
The Domus Aurea was completed in 68 A-D, the year Nero committed suicide.
The site's colossal restoration centred above all around a series of precise interventions aimed at the conservation and restoration of the structure of the walls and frescoes.
SOUNDBITE: (Italian)
The decision to open to the public has been taken years ago with former Minister Veltroni. When we realised that it would have been interesting to make several restorations that would show many wonderful frescoes, we decided to open it to the public.
SUPER CAPTION: Elio Prosperti, chief restorer
Open for viewing are 32 of the 150 rooms restored by experts.
Roughly another 150 areas await excavation and repairs.
Tourists can now wander through a maze of passageway lines with frescoes that had been all but covered over by mold and calcium deposits.
For decades, water for the gardens that are now above the palace had poured through openings designed by ancient architects to allow light into the residence.
The dampness, however, threatened to bring down large sections of the ceilings.
Removing mold revealed surprises, like that of a previously unknown fresco depicting a hunk of ham and bread.
The re-opening is the latest good news after decades of dismal setbacks for Italy's
cultural patrimony.
Finally flush with funds and determined to meet deadlines for millennium celebrations, Italy is reversing years of neglect, unveiling long-hidden treasures.

La Domus Aurea (Rome, ITALY)
«Bene! Finalmente posso cominciare a vivere come un essere umano! (Nerone, entrando per la prima volta nella sua Domus Aurea)» (Svetonio, Nerone, 31.2.)
La Domus Aurea era la villa urbana costruita dall'imperatore romano Nerone dopo il grande incendio che devastò Roma nel 64 d.C. La distruzione di buona parte del centro urbano permise al princeps di espropriare un'area complessiva di circa 80 ettari e costruirvi un palazzo che si estendeva tra il Palatino, l'Esquilino e il Celio.
La villa, probabilmente mai portata a termine, fu distrutta dopo la morte di Nerone a seguito della restituzione del terreno su cui sorgeva al popolo romano. La parte superstite della Domus Aurea, occultata dalle successive terme di Traiano, come tutto il centro storico di Roma, le zone extraterritoriali della Santa Sede in Italia e la basilica di San Paolo fuori le mura, è stata inserita nella lista dei Patrimoni dell'umanità dall'UNESCO nel 1980.
Il Carandini aggiunge che si trattava non di una sola grande residenza, ma di un insieme di edifici e spazi verdi, che in seguito ispirarono la grande villa Adriana alla periferia di Tivoli.

21. Domus Aurea, Rome
The Domus Aurea is an opulent pleasure palace built in Rome by Nero after the great fire of A.D. 64. Taking advantage of widespread devastation, Nero seized land for his own use and erected an expansive residence where he could display himself to best advantage. Fireproof brick faced concrete walls were decorated by the remarkable painter Fabullus, and the equally talented Severus and Celer designed a dining room with a revolving ceiling, among other notable gimmicks. The surviving octagonal room is one of the most important spaces in Roman architecture and set the stage for the domed interior of the Pantheon.

Places to see in ( Rome - Italy ) Domus Aurea
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 villas on the Palatine Hill.
Though the Domus Aurea complex covered parts of the slopes of the Palatine, Esquiline, Oppian and Caelian hills, with a man-made lake in the marshy valley, the estimated size of the Domus Aurea is an approximation, as much of it has not been excavated. Some scholars place it at over 300 acres (1.2 km2), while others estimate its size to have been under 100 acres (0.40 km2). Suetonius describes the complex as ruinously prodigal as it included groves of trees, pastures with flocks, vineyards and an artificial lake—rus in urbe, countryside in the city.
The Golden House was designed as a place of entertainment, as shown by the presence of 300 rooms without any sleeping quarter. Nero's own palace remained on the Quirinal Hill. No kitchens or latrines have been discovered.
Rooms sheathed in dazzling polished white marble were given richly varied floor plans, shaped with niches and exedras that concentrated or dispersed the daylight. There were pools in the floors and fountains splashing in the corridors. Nero took great interest in every detail of the project, according to Tacitus' Annals, and oversaw the engineer-architects, Celer and Severus, who were also responsible for the attempted navigable canal with which Nero hoped to link Misenum with Lake Avernus.

Nerone e la Domus Aurea (Città segrete - Roma)
Nerone, personaggio controverso per la sua epoca, ebbe innegabili meriti, ma fu anche responsabile di delitti e atteggiamenti dispotici. A lui si devono, al contempo, numerose riforme come l'abbassamento delle tasse ai più poveri e il contenimento delle pretese corporative del Senato. Con Corrado Augias.

Nero's Golden House, DOMUS AUREA, Rome
We were lucky to be in Rome, Italy, soon after the still buried ruins of the Golden House of Emperor Nero were opened to the public. Once a pleasure palace of over 300 rooms, gardens and artificial lakes, the complex was built on possibly 300 acres of ancient central Rome follwing the fire of 64 C.E. After Nero's suicide, the complex was stripped of valuables and filled in with earth and buried for over 1500 years, until accidentally discovered by a boy who fell into a hole in the earth. Join us as we go underground to see the ruins.
