South-facing imperial residence with excavated objects on the hill.

It is a series of houses that Augustus bought on the Palatine and which, as early as 30 BC, became his residence. This building is in the centre of the palace built by Domitian (81-96), and was the official residence of the emperors for 3 centuries. The imperial residence was south facing, dominating the Circus Maximus. You will also see a modern building: the Antiquarium. He collects the objects discovered during the excavations on the hill. Among the most interesting are the graffiti of Alexamenos (2nd century) and their strange representation of a crucified donkey.

Remarquable pour la scénographie
En petit groupe,et en visite guidée, cette visite exceptionnelle se fait d'abord avec une présentation sous lumière ciblée , projetée sur les fresques commentées puis le public peut admirer les peintures seul sans éclairage particulier. Visite à prendre avec le forfait:" Forum Plus "un peu plus cher mais sensationnel.

Casa di Augusto is a place known for a long time but in perpetual excavations are companies. Rooms and rooms are regularly unearthed, this one revealing frescoes several ancient times.
Some rooms are worth visiting (3 when I travelled there). The entrance is very paid:
- forbidden flash
- 10 people at the same time
- prohibition to put your hands wherever it is etc.
There is a small access waiting, but the atmosphere you discover entering these rooms several ancient times and this state of preservation quickly makes us forget waiting that it had to support under the blazing sun that reigns at the top of the Palatine.
An exceptional site and in a unique condition.
