| 0:00 | · | on the occasion of a new opening on the |
| 0:02 | · | Palatine hill we can ask today what was |
| 0:05 | · | the domus to biriana this massive |
| 0:08 | · | fellatial structure attributed to the |
| 0:10 | · | emperor Tiberius the successor of |
| 0:12 | · | Augustus now we get access to portions |
| 0:15 | · | of this Palace that were not opened for |
| 0:19 | · | 50 years from the position on the Roman |
| 0:22 | · | form it's the domus tubidiana palace |
| 0:24 | · | that we see dominating the landscape and |
| 0:28 | · | now we're getting access to it |
| · | Original terrace of the complex, original House of Tiberius |
| 0:30 | · | when we look at the top of the Palatine |
| 0:32 | · | hill we can see this area delineated |
| 0:35 | · | approximately 150 by 120 meters |
| 0:39 | · | attributed to being the domicile of the |
| 0:42 | · | emperor Tiberius |
| 0:44 | · | and it's overlooking and distinct from |
| 0:46 | · | the pre-existing sanctuary of Republican |
| 0:50 | · | deities Victoria and Magnum Mater so |
| 0:54 | · | somewhere on that large Terrace space |
| 0:56 | · | you have the first house of Tiberius the |
| 1:01 | · | stepson of Augustus who already had his |
| 1:04 | · | own house on the Palatine Hill |
| 1:06 | · | but so much of that Palace attributed to |
| 1:10 | · | Tiberius is obscured by the Renaissance |
| 1:13 | · | farnazi Gardens that we see here The |
| 1:17 | · | Fountains and even the plantings on top |
| 1:20 | · | of this massive terraced area few things |
| 1:23 | · | remain on top |
| 1:24 | · | an exception is this fish pond |
| 1:27 | · | and when we look at the majority of the |
| 1:30 | · | archaeological evidence around this area |
| 1:33 | · | delineated as the Palace of Tiberius the |
| 1:38 | · | structures are actually much later |
| 1:42 | · | the earlier structures |
| 1:44 | · | don't date to the time of Tiberius that |
| 1:46 | · | we find in this platform rather they're |
| 1:49 | · | attributed to Caligula the house of |
| · | House of Gaius (Caligula) |
| 1:52 | · | Gaius that we know is attached to |
| 1:57 | · | the house of Tiberius originally in this |
| 2:00 | · | location |
| 2:02 | · | subsequently that house is going to be |
| 2:05 | · | destroyed as is the memory of Caligula |
| 2:08 | · | but what comes in next that we have well |
| 2:10 | · | preserved is this 130 meter long |
| · | Neronian cryptoporticus |
| 2:14 | · | cryptoporticus this underground |
| 2:16 | · | passageway that's attached to the |
| 2:19 | · | platform and it dates the time of Nero |
| 2:22 | · | this is Nero who's going to have his |
| 2:23 | · | domesto transitoria Nero who will |
| 2:26 | · | finally make the definitive domus Audi |
| 2:29 | · | extending here from the Palatine Hill |
| 2:31 | · | over to the Escalon |
| 2:34 | · | after the fire of 80 its dimissions turn |
| 2:37 | · | to have his hand in this palatial area |
| · | Domitianic additions |
| 2:41 | · | and he's going to make a ramp and other |
| 2:45 | · | structures leading down to the Palatine |
| 2:48 | · | Hill giving a new definitive approach to |
| 2:51 | · | the domus tiberiana |
| 2:53 | · | and finally it's Hadrian that extends |
| · | Hadrianic additions |
| 2:56 | · | the platform forward over the clevis |
| 2:59 | · | Victoria that now we can have access to |
| 3:02 | · | and extending over toward the Via Nova |
| 3:06 | · | Street and that's the portion with these |
| 3:08 | · | substructures that we're now going to |
| 3:11 | · | access |
| 3:12 | · | how can we get up to the domesdayana |
| · | Domitian's ramp into Domus Tiberiana (tour) |
| 3:14 | · | today let's Ascend a portion of the ramp |
| 3:18 | · | built by the mission again |
| 3:21 | · | built in coordination with that idea of |
| 3:23 | · | giving access to the Palace that |
| 3:26 | · | emission is going to have his own Palace |
| 3:27 | · | but in this case the ramp gives direct |
| 3:30 | · | access to the domus tiberiana |
| 3:34 | · | and this ramp has only been open for a |
| 3:36 | · | number of years but it gives us an |
| 3:38 | · | incredible insight into the connection |
| 3:40 | · | to the lower Palace built by the mission |
| 3:43 | · | which is now sentimentary Antigua church |
| 3:45 | · | and we're ascending we can imagine |
| 3:47 | · | ourselves being a guest someone of |
| 3:50 | · | privilege zigzagging her way up |
| 3:52 | · | immediately from The Forum to the domus |
| 3:55 | · | to biriana |
| 3:56 | · | and now with the new opening of the |
| 3:58 | · | domus dubidiana we can turn right and |
| 4:01 | · | we're going to go right onto the |
| 4:03 | · | so-called Clevis vittori |
| 4:05 | · | and we're now beneath those extended |
| 4:08 | · | substructures built by Hadrian so pretty |
| 4:11 | · | much everything we see here is hadrianic |
| 4:14 | · | and it simply is an extension of the |
| 4:16 | · | Terrace up on top on the Palatine Hill |
| 4:18 | · | extending it forward |
| 4:20 | · | and it is just magnificent |
| 4:23 | · | so you can visit |
| 4:25 | · | on the top and now you can visit down |
| 4:26 | · | below |
| 4:28 | · | and it's within some of these rooms |
| 4:29 | · | these are going to be utilitarian spaces |
| 4:31 | · | this is not going to be the private |
| 4:32 | · | Apartments of the emperor that he was on |
| 4:34 | · | top |
| 4:35 | · | it's in these rooms that we now have |
| 4:37 | · | Museum spaces |
| 4:39 | · | that tell us the history of the |
| · | Museum collection: artifacts from the palace |
| 4:41 | · | domesdayana so an image like this these |
| 4:44 | · | materials out of terracotta the |
| 4:46 | · | Terracotta plaques the drainage spouts |
| 4:49 | · | these are going to be attributed to |
| 4:52 | · | Republican houses that are ultimately |
| 4:54 | · | obliterated by the construction of the |
| 4:56 | · | domus diveriana here are a series of |
| 4:58 | · | loom weights you can even reconstruct it |
| 5:01 | · | here so there's all kinds of household |
| 5:03 | · | activities taking place in the homes of |
| 5:07 | · | the Republican period |
| 5:08 | · | here is a nice rendition of the Palatine |
| 5:13 | · | Hill in the time of Augustus there's his |
| 5:15 | · | house there's the Temple of Apollo but |
| 5:17 | · | the rest of it was houses like this this |
| 5:20 | · | is known today as the house of Augustus |
| 5:22 | · | but it actually is a house bought by |
| 5:24 | · | Augustus and then buried and his house |
| 5:27 | · | was placed on top and we have |
| 5:29 | · | extraordinary frescoes preserved we're |
| 5:32 | · | also going to see a series of frescoes |
| 5:34 | · | preserved in the domus dibiriana that |
| 5:37 | · | are contemporary with these buildings |
| 5:40 | · | and these substructures dank the time of |
| 5:43 | · | Hadrian so when we peer through this |
| 5:46 | · | little Keyhole we can see this beautiful |
| 5:48 | · | hadrianic fresco |
| 5:50 | · | of leaves flowers and a bird |
| 5:54 | · | here's something a little more simply |
| 5:56 | · | rendered in the fourth Style again a lot |
| 5:59 | · | of these spaces are utilitarian |
| 6:02 | · | and we have a series of frescoes that we |
| 6:05 | · | can't get access to but do exist on some |
| 6:07 | · | of the substructures we can zoom in here |
| 6:10 | · | to see a portion of it so there are lots |
| 6:13 | · | of frescoes that Adorn the hadronic |
| 6:15 | · | levels of the domus to biriana so there |
| 6:19 | · | again we have the Republican temples and |
| 6:21 | · | here again we have a new rendition of |
| 6:24 | · | the elevation of the domus dividiana |
| 6:26 | · | there are other ideas because nothing is |
| 6:28 | · | definitive but what's found in the |
| 6:30 | · | excavation are statues what's found in |
| 6:33 | · | the excavation are going to be black and |
| 6:35 | · | white Mosaic still left in C2 and other |
| 6:38 | · | fragments of statues but tons of |
| 6:41 | · | examples of the beautiful colored and |
| 6:43 | · | white marbles that adored the private |
| 6:47 | · | and public spaces of the domus de banana |
| 6:49 | · | up above |
| 6:51 | · | what an incredible Museum space at the |
| 6:53 | · | same time looking down at the house of |
| 6:56 | · | the Vestal virgins this portion of |
| 6:58 | · | opacity is in the Palatine Museum above |
| 7:02 | · | and so is this but they're both |
| 7:03 | · | attributed to the domus tebiriana how |
| 7:06 | · | extraordinary it was in the time of the |
| 7:09 | · | mission in the time of Hadrian and the |
| 7:11 | · | use of colored and white marbles it was |
| 7:14 | · | something spectacular alabaster's |
| 7:16 | · | serpentino por free and so on all on |
| 7:20 | · | display we also have examples of the |
| 7:22 | · | commonware the cookware we get some |
| 7:24 | · | insight into the slaves that would have |
| 7:26 | · | been here and manage this household and |
| 7:28 | · | would feed the people that were coming |
| 7:30 | · | to the Banquets of the Emperors we also |
| 7:32 | · | get signs of daily life like dice |
| 7:35 | · | we also get signs of daily life with |
| 7:38 | · | countless ampharai that were used |
| 7:40 | · | through the centuries as well as a great |
| 7:42 | · | assortment of oil lamps that help us |
| 7:45 | · | date the goings-on in the Palace of the |
| 7:49 | · | mission over the centuries |
| 7:53 | · | besides these substructures we can walk |
| 7:56 | · | around to a number of terraces to |
| 7:59 | · | appreciate the views of the domus |
| 8:02 | · | dividiana |
| 8:03 | · | and we can understand better the various |
| 8:07 | · | stories that make up the domos dubidiana |
| 8:11 | · | on many levels |
| 8:13 | · | and it really is a place worth getting |
| 8:17 | · | to know |
| 8:19 | · | we have this great connection then down |
| 8:22 | · | to the Forum below |
| 8:24 | · | we have the piano Nobile the Royal floor |
| 8:28 | · | above us and down below we have this |
| 8:31 | · | tight connection with the Villanova with |
| 8:34 | · | the house of the best of virgins |
| 8:36 | · | coliseums in the distance it truly is |
| 8:39 | · | extraordinary religion is a big part as |
| 8:41 | · | well in the don't Mr biriana this is an |
| 8:44 | · | alabaster tiger probably originally |
| 8:46 | · | written by a statue of Bacchus or |
| 8:49 | · | Dionysus |
| 8:50 | · | we also have here this idq which depicts |
| 8:55 | · | hypocratase the Egyptian god |
| 8:57 | · | here's a marble seder again a companion |
| 9:01 | · | of Dionysus a god of wine |
| 9:05 | · | obviously important cult figure here |
| 9:07 | · | here's a Kista maybe holding sacred |
| 9:09 | · | implements and it is made of marble but |
| 9:13 | · | to pick something made of wicker this is |
| 9:16 | · | an oil lamp there's a whole series of |
| 9:17 | · | these dating to the Severin period And |
| 9:19 | · | it depicts Isis breastfeeding baby |
| 9:22 | · | hypocrates next to the god serapis |
| 9:27 | · | Isis is also present in Marble reliefs |
| 9:30 | · | so we think about the importance of the |
| 9:33 | · | prominence of this deity we also have |
| 9:35 | · | with Kates and katopates the cult of |
| 9:38 | · | mithvirus present in the domus tiberiana |
| 9:41 | · | so this is an extraordinary site this is |
| 9:44 | · | an incredible Palace and now it's |
| 9:46 | · | accessible |
| 9:48 | · | and keep in mind that the palace was a |
| 9:50 | · | Papal possession from the 5th to the 8th |
| 9:52 | · | centuries and in particular Pope John |
| 9:55 | · | VII actually lived in the domes to |
| 9:57 | · | biriana in the 8th century |
| 10:01 | · | such an incredible location the domus to |
