The Palace of Domitian was built as Roman emperor Domitian's official residence in 81–92 AD and was used as such by subsequent emperors.[1] Its remains sit atop and dominate the Palatine Hill in Rome, alongside other palaces.
The Palace is a massive structure separated today into three areas, in part following the way business matters and private life were separated so they could be conducted in parallel. The modern names used for these parts are:
- the Domus Flavia
- the Domus Augustana[2]
- the garden or "stadium".
It has not been fully exposed as parts lie under more recent buildings.
The palace was one of Domitian's many architectural projects including renovation of the Circus Maximus, renovation of the Pantheon, and three temples deifying his family members: the temple of Vespasian and Titus, the Porticus Diuorum, and the Temple of the gens Flavia.[3]
