guy 157 Report post Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Good to see that things are slowly starting to open up. In this case, the site of emperor Tiberius' palace on the Palantine Hill will reopen after 40 years. Quote The Domus Tiberiana, one of the main imperial palaces on Rome's Palatine Hill, will reopen to the public in the second half of 2021, after more than 40 years. https://www.wantedinrome.com/news/rome-to-reopen-domus-tiberiana-imperial-palace-on-palatine-hill.html http://www.ansamed.info/ansamed/en/news/nations/italy/2021/01/13/archaeology-domus-tiberiana-to-reopen-after-40-years_c1bc5bd6-4bd3-4e88-8c4b-a264a706ef95.html Interestingly, this structure is probably not Tiberius' palace. Quote The earliest palace foundation here, however, appears to go back only to Nero, who no doubt had to rebuild the palace after the Fire, and perhaps took the opportunity to make it larger. The Palace of Tiberius, whatever transformations and expansions it underwent, would have been the principal Roman imperial residence for Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero in the early part of his reign. http://archive1.village.virginia.edu/spw4s/RomanForum/GoogleEarth/AK_GE/AK_HTML/HP-005.html Summary: Despite the lockdowns, it is good to see that renovations and excavations continue. guy also known as gaius Edited January 17, 2021 by guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
