  • 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.

      of course it does, you silly goose. it is a seminal source of the Renaissance art of painting, decoration and architecture. It is the most complete Roman palace complex to survive until today. the reason was it complete burial by Trajan (after stripping it clean of all that could be removed and reused). it was buried because it was made of very thick and hard Roman concrete. it was too expensive to raise it to the ground. so instead it was filled up with dirt and new structures built over it. NOW, those other structures are gone, but the Domus survive, complete with its grottos and grotto art.

    I visited the Domus Aurea twice. Once when it was just opened to visitors and allowed more leisure. The 2nd time not so much time to explore. Even with the much stripped away , it is magnificent and so appreciated the video that captured the vastness and size. Hope to visit again for the 3rd time soon. Thank you for filming.

    Zlatý Neronův dům nechal Nero vybudovat po velkém požáru Říma, kolem roku 60, našeho letopočtu.Šlo o luxusní sídlo, vybudovaném na jednom z římských pahorků Esquilin.Dočetla jsem se o zříceném stropu této památky,která je údajně vážně ohrožena otřesy spojenými s dopravou a výfukovými plyny.Prohlídka paláce je úžasná svou velikostí a rozsahem.Vaše videa jsou velmi poučná a zajímavá.

    Big question is how much of this building was pillaged by the church under the various pope's for the construction of St Peters. All the probably gorgeous marble decorations as can still be seen in the Pantheon have been stripped off the walls .The amount of ensuing breakage can only be guessed at.
    The glorious buildings of the Imperial city were likewise mined for use even to the very bricks they were constructed of . A huge cultural tragedy.

    • @myvideomedia
      @myvideomedia  6 лет назад +6

      Thank you very much for your great comment! Most of that what you say is correct, but St.Peters was build in the 3th century. Domus Aurea was destroyed 80 p. Chr. So I think the most of the material was used for the collosseum and the baths of Titus and Trajan. Best wishes and have a great time!

      @Bruce Burns
      The Protestant revolution (the Dissolution of Monasteries) under Henry VIII between 1536 and 1541destroyed over 800 monasteries. What was left standing was further destroyed under his son Edward who had whitewashed over wall paintings in most churches, smashed stained glass windows, destroyed statues. burnt rood screens, smashed baptism fonts, etc. Every cathedral to every small parish church suffered some form of vandalism.
      This is just an example of England. Switzerland also experienced the destruction of its medieval art. Swiss churches built before 1500, their interiors were colorfully painted...they were not intended to be white.

    The Coliseum is cool an all... but an almost intact Imperial Palace is mind blowing, the level of engineering for it to actually survive being buried for almost 2 milenia is quite a accomplishment, the only other ancient structure I would have loved to visit is the Temple of Artemis, too bad it was destroyed in a fire :c

      Vielen Dank für ihr Interesse! Es wurde sehr viel Erdreich in die Domus Aurea eingebracht, da oberhalb die Trajans Thermen gebaut wurden, um dem Volk von Rom das Gelände wieder zurück zu geben. Die Fenster sind wohl nicht zugemauert, sondern lediglich mit Erdreich verschüttet, weshalb relativ viel Wasser eindringen konnte. Deshalb wurden die letzten Jahre Drainageleitungen eingebaut.

      Thanks for the great comment! The Domus Aurea should have been open to tourists again since 2018. It was temporarily closed to tourists because water seeped in and a drainage system was installed. Probably the safety of the visitors could not always be guaranteed because of falling plaster. We were there as tourists and the visit was even free. However, at that time the Domus Aurea was only open for 3 months. Greetings and all the best!
