Why was the Domus Aurea important?

The Domus Aurea or Golden House was important because it was a milestone in building construction. Concrete was used for the first time in a residential structure, enabling a octagon shaped room to be covered with a dome. The domus also had a rotating dining room, the forerunner of our rotating restaurants. There were many more architectual innovations and new surprises are being uncovered.

How big is the Domus Aurea?

The phrase 'Domus Aurea' means 'Golden House'. Its construction began in the year 64. It was the pet building project and residence of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus [December 15, 37-June 9, 68]. With Nero's suicide, the area was filled in and covered over with earth for the subsequent building of the Baths of Titus and of Trajan, the Colossus Neronis, the Flavian Amphitheatre, and the Temple of Venus and Rome. Below the ground, the 'Domus Aurea' was forgotten until its rediscovery in the 15th century. To this day, it hasn't been excavated in its entirety. So estimates as to its total size have ranged from less than 100 to more than 300 acres.
