  • The Emperor Domitian (81-96 CE) rebuilt and added to existing buildings on the Palatine Hill, Rome. The result is an enormous palatial complex rising high above the Imperial Forum and the Circus Maximus. Our reconstruction flies into the palace vestibule, moves through the interior Peristyle garden, into the immense throne room, then back through the Peristyle, and finishing in the equally huge Triclinium (public dining hall).

    What many people don't know is that large areas of the Imperial Palace were open to the public, like other public buildings. There were of course areas that were off limits to the public for private and security reasons.

      Yes indeed. I found this out a little while ago while brushing up on some history. The emperor's loved to show off their palaces to everyone so it made sense to open them up to the public.

      When Rome was in flames and Nero got back to the city he let homeless people from the burnt down areas stay at his palace. That the palaces were so open gives Nero's action some context.

    • @learningsites
      @learningsites  2 роки тому +4

      Correct; the final room in the video is the Cenatio Iovis, which was the formal state dining hall of the Domus Flavia. It had a dais at the apsidal end of the hall which was for the emperor's table and important guests. The rest of the invited diners ate at tables scattered in the rest of the hall. Side windows opened to fountained courts which allowed cool fresh air to circulate throughout the hall.

      Not sure to which specific plantings you are referring; but we know a lot about ancient Roman gardens and landscaping practices both from excavations and from ancient writers who describe their gardens and cityscapes. Much about the types of trees, flowers, and plants themselves is also known. For this palace, however, and the areas around it, we had to improvise based on the evidence, because not much is known about the areas within this palace in particular. Thank you for watching.

      @learningsites  2 роки тому +8

      This is the throne room, with a great apse at one end for the emperor's throne. We know that the floor was made of large pieces of colored marbles, very similar to the Triclinium (massive dining room at the other end of the palace), and that floor survives. We took hints from that floor and created a close parallel for the throne room. This is also in keeping with the general types of floors, colors, and shapes known and found elsewhere in the palace.

    Spiritually the world was much more advanced in this era of Domitian & Nerva in Italy. And also more advanced in Japan with Himiko, obsessed with trying to find 'real tangible evidence' as in practical religion. For example: HOW do I contact an ancestor and get answers? HOW do I summon spirit helpers to create a small army? (as they had, btw).
    Now, the spiritual world is all about 'afterlife' and 'punishment' and 'heaven or hell where are you going permanently?' i.e. untruthful rubbish, which is why it was illegal back then too (Judeo-Christian rubbish destroying the delicate human mind).
    And btw I'm NOT arrogant, telling people that their Christian/Catholic church was 100% illegal where it started; declared a hoax, unhealthy Etc. I'm persuasive, it's " duty to persuade ". It's like later on if someone says to me " Why didn't you persuade me? Why didn't you persuade them? Since you knew all this why didn't you tell me? ". That's why.
