    That tiger. Even without the head and legs, I recognized it instantly. And the paintings of birds and plants, I have to say, Ancient Roman artwork is absolutely incredible and beautiful. I don't think those old guys get enough credit for their artistic and engineering abilities. Even some of the mosaics have a nearly photographic quality. One of the things I'd like to hear more about is the industries of Ancient Rome. Details of metalworks, glassworks, and textiles. These aspects of Ancient Roman life clearly had dedicated infrastructures and personnel. Why isn't anyone talking about it? It's a backbone of Roman civilization.

    Tiberius for me is most interesting emperor often portrayed as dark and gloomy character is actually most misunderstood emperor and only quite recently modern Historians started to see works by Tacitus and especially Seutonius as highly biased, sensationalist and very much untrustworthy in term of judging Emperors Character or their Rule. It's so unfortunate that Autobiography by Tiberius, didn't survived to our days only alluded in some historic writing, it would of let us know his real views and character.

    Thank you for this excellent video! Did the Ramp of Domitian ascend all the way to the top of the Palatine (atop the substructures), where there has long been an overlook? If so, can one make that full ascent (or descent, in reverse) today? It looks like one can climb the Ramp of Domitian from near Santa Maria Antiqua up to the Clivus Victoriae and then follow that road to the base of the Farnese Aviaries, but I'm not sure if one can go any higher than that from the Ramp of Domitian (via any stairs or other path) up to or near the overlook on top. (Basically, just wondering if -- as implied by the official press release -- the new (Sept. 2023) access provides a new way to move between the Forum and the top of Palatine Hill.)

    Par les dimensions, on peut confondre les vestiges de la domus aurea et ceux de la domus hadriana même si les fresques peintes sont de facture plus simple dans la dernière.
    Les romains avaient l'étrange habitude de ne pas déblayer les gravats après la destruction d'un édifice. Ils recouvraient les débris par une plus ou moins vaste terrasse maçonnée architecturée. C'est un peu grâce à cette coutume que l'on a pu retrouver un premier passage vers la Domus aurea de Néron entre-autres...
