Description

According to a tradition confirmed by the discovery of the bottom of huts that date back to the 8th century BC, Romulus founded the city of Rome on the Palatine Hill (754-753 BC). The archeological data actually leads to believe that thehill was stably occupied from the 13th century BC. Due to its historical and religious importance the Palatine Hill became the place of residence of the Roman Managerial Class already from the 6th century BC. The most significant ruins of republican houses are the so-called Aula Isiaca and the “Casa dei Grifi” (Houseof Snouts) with stuccoes and painted walls. The look of the Palatine Hill changed significantly when the Emperor Octavianus Augustus that was born there chose to live there. All of the emperors that succeeded him chose the hill astheir residence. Therefor the palaces of Tiberius (Domus Tiberiana), Nero(Domus Transitoria and part of the Domus Aurea), the Flavians (Domus Flavia and Domus Augustana) and Septimius Severus (Domus Severiana) were built there. At the end of the imperial age the entire hill was occupied by a single large“reggia” (king’s palace) called Palatium after the name of the hill. The term was then used first to designate the palace par excellence, the Emperor’s Palace, and then any monumental residence. In the 16th century on the initiative of the Cardinal Alessandro Farnese a grand villa (Orti Farnesiani) was built on the Domus Tiberiana. The villa was almost completely destroyed later. Systematic excavations were started in the 18th century in the area and are still in progress today. Part of the findings are visible to the public in the Museo Palatino (Palatine Museum).
