If verified, its a incredible find of historic proportions.

Turns out it was the palace of constantine’s neighbor...

what a disappointment of historic proportions... it seems like we’ll never find constantine’s palace.

It’s difficult to find that kind of evidence — not unheard of though. A good number of the houses buried by the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius had the name of the owner on them. Julius Caesar’s father-in-law’s house in Herculanaeum was found with its furnishings more or less intact (even doors on the hinges, still work). By the entrance there was a hand warmer (a small metal stand with hot coals in it) that Julius Caesar must have used from time to time. :’)
