Peristilio Domus Augustana

If Goethe, walking on the Palatine hill and observing only the remains of the imperial palace, said he was fascinated by such grandiosity, it is not surprising that Martial – who could admire it in its entirety – spoke of it in absolutely amazing tones, claiming that the palace came to touch the stars. The author of this imposing project was Rabirio. Every corner had to show the power of the emperor. The building site probably started from the representative wing (the Domus Flavia), followed by the private apartments (the Augustana) and, lastly, the Stadium. Septimius Severus commissioned the last extension. Progetto Traiano was born from the collaboration between engineers and archaeologists and aims to use modern 3D techniques to revive the monuments of ancient Rome. The reconstructions are the result of a careful analysis: photographs, publications, plans, have been reviewed in a critical manner, analysing everything in the light of field surveys.
