ROME – Archaeologists on Tuesday unveiled what they think are the remains of Roman emperor Nero's extravagant banquet hall, a circular space that rotated day and night to imitate the Earth's movement and impress his guests.
The room, part of Nero's Golden Palace, a sprawling residence built in the first century A.D., is thought to have been built to entertain government officials and VIPs, said lead archaeologist Francoise Villedieu.
The emperor, known for his lavish and depraved lifestyle, ruled from 37 A.D. to 68 A.D.
The dig so far has turned up the foundations of the room, the rotating mechanism underneath and part of an attached space believed to be the kitchens, she said.

OK does Omama = Nero or Caliglia?
Does it include a vomitorium?
He didn’t rule from 37 to 68. It was 54 to 68. He was born in 37.
Morons. Those are his birth and death dates. He came to power in 54, if I remember correctly.
Just in time for Obama to build one for the White House.

That must be the first architect now. Ah, yes. It’s Mr. Wiggin of Ironside and Malone.
MR. WIGGIN: Good morning, gentlemen. Uh, this is a twelve-storey block combining classical neo-Georgian features with all the advantages of modern design. Uhh, the tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these large contai—
CITY GENT #1: Excuse me.
MR. WIGGIN: Hmm?
CITY GENT #1: Uh, did you say ‘knives’?
MR. WIGGIN: Uh, rotating knives. Yes.
CITY GENT #2: Are you, uh, proposing to slaughter our tenants?
MR. WIGGIN: Does that not fit in with your plans?
Thanks for the post. Interesting article.
Rotating banquet hall Ping
“I wouldn’t become a Mason now if you got down on your lousy stinking knees and begged me!”
Don’t know about comparing Obama to Nero or Caligula but Biden reminds me of Claudius.
Nothing like finding the Antichrist’s dining hall.
..eeewww, looks like some kind’a shawn penn punk.
What a great artist the world lost in him!
Yes!

His dying words:
“qvalisartifexpereo”, according to Suetonius.
My comment was a play on a loose translation.
My memory is that 69 was the year of the four emperors who were Galba, Otho, and Vitellius. Then the Flavians?
If the Romans were not aware that the Earth was round, how could they know that a rotating banquet hall could imitate the Earth's movement. Sure, they saw the Sun rise in the East and set in the West, and the stars fly around overhead at night, but didn't they think that the Sun traveled across the sky, and the stars move fixed on spheres around a stationary Earth?
Yes the year of the 4 Ceasars. Emperor is usually called Ceasar in the period.
Yes, of course. And the fourth Caesar that year was Vespasian. Something-or-other Flavius Vespasianus. Started building the Flavian amphitheater.
The year of the 4 emperors was in 69 AD.
The 4 emperors were Galba (who’s reign began in 68 AD), Otho , Vitellius and Vespasian.
The old bit of claiming that Nero
was the Anti-Christ of the END TIMES
is one of the most Biblically ignorant perspectives I’ve ever read in my 62 years.
There are a host of Scriptures which prevent his filling the bill.
Only Clueless RUBBER BIBLE’d perspectives have the brazen arrogant affrontery to pretend otherwise.
I believe that both the Greeks and the Romans believed that the Earth was a sphere. That understanding was forgotten by later generations.
Elagabalus. ;’)

neither, Elagabalus
Did he just come out of a cold lake?
Neither , I'm thinking more like Biggus Dickus...
Pardon me, Emp old buddy.
Is that your nose or are you smoking a stogie?
I missed that...
Those were in the Coliseum and amphitheathers. They had nothing to do with throwing up after eating - that's simply a popular misconception. The vomitoria were the exit corridors through which the crowds left.
“Biden reminds me of Claudius”
Claudius was smarter than Biden.
Giant Lazy Susan
Come on! He had the weight of the world.......
The stuff they’re finding nowadays in Rome is unbelieveable.
What a loser...
““Biden reminds me of Claudius”
Claudius was smarter than Biden.””
Definitely.
Tatt
Maybe Biden has a reserve of secret intelligence that no one knows about and acts the fool and is looked down upon like Claudius.
I was reading up about Caligula and it’s strange how his rise parallels that of the Kenyan. Both followed in the footsteps of supposedly bad leaders and were anointed as the greatest things ever when they came to power and then the luster wore off.
...wow
You’re right. Nero was born in 37, and ruled from 54-68. Probably the author got confused with “ruled” and “born”.
