Domus Aurea outside

[@brober]

Toured the ruins of Nero's crib just last month. They are trying to stabilize the underground rooms which are buried 60 feet below the park above. The wall murals are badly faded. It is huge. Thanks for this reconstruction as it is hard to visualize from the dark caves that remain the brilliant beauty of what once was. Still if you get a chance to vist the Domus Aurea on weekends only, take it. Fascinating tour.

[@andrewbell2712]

I visited the Domus Aurea in 2000. Nero had his architects make room after room using the famous Roman arch entranceway, with a glorious central room, flanked by ten or so smaller rooms on each side. The rooms were all frescoed with scenes from Roman mythology, or repetitive, stylized floral motifs, in what must have been spectacular looking then, but showy and uninspired today. The paintings were all badly damaged and not yet restored when I visited with my tourist group. The palace today was about 30 feet underground, and the beauty and luxury and vast extent of the palace compound were hard to imagine. This video, showing the glorious statue of Apollo or Hyperion, and also the artificial lake with the Roman warship/yacht in its center, restores the Domus Aurea to its spectacular and magnificent original state. The Roman treasury nearly went bankrupt paying for this huge private obsession of Nero's. The palace makes William Randolph Hearst's San Simeon estate look like an ant hill in comparison. Really, when you think of it, it's a good reason not to vote for the next pompous and priveliged dictator the next time he rolls around. Of course, you might not have a choice in the matter, as by then it will be too late to make a difference. Down with the Neros, Mussollinis, and all their clones, Russian, British, Roman, Greek, Chinese, German, French or American!

[@michaelfisher7170]

This construction, IMO, is why Nero found himself accused of starting or at least not properly responding to the fire that gutted Rome in his reign. Its likely slander, he simply grabbed up that prime real estate after the fact, but, in terms of PR, it was a stupid move. I love the overlapping pictures of the site, the Domus, the Colesseum, and today...and knowing the Domus is still there, underneath all that modern construction is amazing.

You can tell how much of a child Nero remained within the psychopathic adult he became by the outsized boat in the undersized lake. Can't you just imagine him sitting crosslegged in his little forecastle directing his oarsmen in mock battles like a toddler playing in his bathtub? The poor boat hardly has room to turn around. But god knows he wasn't going to putter about in a little toy ship hardly big enough to hold him. Better to be a big ship in a little pond than a little ship in a ... well you know.

At 4:30. I was deeply impressed with the size of Nero's palace. Then when you see it superimposed on the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, it doesn't seem as big. Take away the giant pool with the boat inside and you get the rough of equivalent of Quirinale Palace in modern-day Rome, which is roughly the size of the Domus Aurea. Nero's gardens are just as big and expansive as the gardens at the Quirinale. Except the Quirinale is a real palace built by the popes over the centuries and now serves as the fabulous, opulent home of the President of Italy. It makes the White House look like a shack. :D

The Trojan Horse was a sculpture made out of one of the disassembled ship to honour Poseidon on his day. Is that correct? You are correct, Egyptian flat bottom ships have a lot to do with the Roman ones let alone Viking ones.

Nero (54-68AD) gets a bad rap from history. The popular one is his burned Rome so he could build a palace and played the fiddle as it all unfounded. During July of 64 AD, a great fire ravaged Rome for six days, destroying 70% of the city and leaving half its population homeless. The fake news created by his enemies was that the decadent and unpopular Nero, “fiddled while Rome burned.” That story was crafted by his enemies who today would be CNN, Washington Post, and New York Times, and the Democrats. It was clearly the ancient fabrication of fake news. For one thing, the fiddle didn’t exist in ancient Rome since it only made its appearance during the 11th century. There is no such evidence that Nero played anything during the great fire. The Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus (c. 56-120AD) wrote that Nero was rumored to have sung about the destruction of Troy while watching the city burn; however, he stated clearly that this was unconfirmed by eyewitness accounts. That was the origin of the saying. When the Great Fire broke out, Nero was at his villa at Antium, some 35 miles from Rome. Nero’s unpopularity developed originally from his mother, Agrippina, Jr., who was a dominate mother and a power hungry woman with many attributes of Hillary Clinton. Agrippina, Jr. was the first woman whose portrait appeared on Roman gold coins during her lifetime. She was first banished by her brother Caligula for being suspected of a plot against him to take the throne. She was very lucky to escape that one with her life. She then connived to marry her uncle, Claudius. The plot then thickens for Claudius’s heir, his son Britanicus, is then poisoned. Some attributed this to Nero, but it seems more likely the deed of his mother. Upon Claudius’s death, which she also may have aided with poison, she really rules the empire in her son’s name who was still a teenage boy much as Hillary ruled the country while Bill fiddled around. These stories clearly circulated in Rome and resulted in Nero being very unpopular.The true story of Nero, not the fake news version crafted by his enemies as we see going on by CNN and others today with respect to Trump, was that Nero immediately returned and began relief measures to help the people. They still didn’t trust him for his reputation preceded him. His enemies started the rumor that Nero had ordered the fire started, especially after he used land cleared by the fire to build his Golden Palace and its surrounding pleasure gardens. That was not a good decision, which only created conspiracy theories. Nero himself blamed the Christians for the fire, and had many arrested and executed beginning the Christian persecutions when he was not executing them for their religion at that time. He just needed a scapegoat. The real source of the stories against Nero are identical in human nature to those spun by career politicians and mainstream media against Trump today. Today, Trump is accused of discriminating against Muslims when it is the same six countries Obama had classified as terrorist nations.. As further complaints arose from the people that the poor were being overly taxed, Nero attempted to repeal all indirect taxes. The Senate convinced him this action would bankrupt the public treasury. As a compromise, taxes were cut from 4.5% to 2.5%. He also began the first debasement of the silver coinage whereas the average fineness pre-64AD was 97.5% as this was reduced to 93.5%. The weight of the silver denarius was also reduced from 3.63 grams to 3.36 grams in 64AD. Nero not only reduced taxes, he also gave slaves permission to file civil complaints against unjust masters, which was very shocking to many. Now the elite really got angry. Nero also imposed a tax of 4% on the sale of slaves that was to be remitted by the seller. Nevertheless, purchasers typically found that the tax was merely added as part of the price in a European VAT fashion. Nero also established retirement colonies of veterans in Italy. There were simply many deeds he enacted prior to 64AD that reveal a decent administrator of the Empire. Nero even attempted to promote free trade by removing all indirect taxes. However, this proved too difficult to administer due to the pervasive corruption. There is clearly the same plot to overthrow Trump from the Deep State supported by CNN, Washington Post, and the New York Times, which have shown to the world their moral corruption. History repeats because human nature never changes.
