How do they know it was used by Nero? Did they find his violin?

I love these finds, in spite of my snide remarks. Walking those sites is a thrill that I have not been able to do for many years now.

The Theatrum Neroni went out of business when they showed a Disney movie.

I’ve read they are building a hotel over it for 2025 Olympics. Is this not going to be preserved?

Nice brick & stone work.
It would be interesting to know more about the people that designed & built some of these structures.

Historian Darius Arya has an "Ancient Rome Live" YouTube Channel. I just found him recently. He offers many decent videos of ancient sites. Most recently he posted one on Nero's home: "Tour the Domus Aurea, Nero's Golden House".

Nero:

I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a
I love to sing-a
‘Bout a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a
Anything-a with a swing-a to an I love you-a
I love-a to, I love-a to sing!

Also Nero:

“Ancient sources were critical of Nero’s obsession with the arts, describing him as the “actor-emperor” (scaenici imperatoris). He made public appearances as an actor, poet, musician, and charioteer...”

Sounds like Zelinski...er...Neroinski
