The Domus Tiberiana: Palace of Tiberius

[@earthcat]

Being old and in failing health, these are places I will not ever visit. Thank you allowing me to see them 🙏

[@explorster]

Just go, put it on a credit card. You won't regret it. You only live once. Time to say fuck it I am doing it. 👍

@@SA-gf3th You have my attention. Tell me.

[@nancytestani1470]

Amazing, just amazing

[@ultor7654]

Breathtaking, thank you so much Sir for your channel!

[@sifridbassoon]

None of this existed when I was in Rome back in the 80s. I can't wait to get back and see the new structures

[@edwarddifalcojr2752]

You are absolutely correct I was also there I was there in 87 and there was nothing like this. Basically the coliseum and a few couple temples. I gotta get back there to see this place

[@bepinkfloyd814]

Spero che il vostro soggiorno nella città eterna sarà piacevole, purtroppo roma sta andando sempre di più verso il degrado... purtroppo il governo è come sempre una merda. Topi al Colosseo, barboni che accendono fuochi sulle mura aureliane 😢 ormai questo paese è allo sbaraglio.

[@sugarnads]

It was literally all there. You just couldnt see it as it was in unsafe condition. Didnt exist. Its been there 2000 years

[@IxtlanDelRio]

@@sugarnadscorrect!

[@morgothfromangband6082]

It is slowly rebuilt. ❤

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Your presentation, with its various camera angles, helps make more sense of these spaces than I ever got from visiting the place.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you

[@jenocsik7244]

Remek videó!!!!!!!!! sok szép részletet látunk a lenyűgöző DOMUS TIBERIANABÓL! KÖSZÖNÖM! CSODÁS VILÁG VOLT BÁR CSAK MA IS LÉTEZNE AZ ANTIK RÓMA!

[@benjaminjo]

Your camera work and narrative skills are top notch. I can only get a sense of the SCALE of such a beautiful structure. What's amazing to me is they allow such unprecedented access to the building itself. I'm sure there are SOME limits, but to walk in and around it mostly at your own will has a adventurous feel to it.

[@brober]

Fantastico! Love the fountain. Really brings life to the site. Grazie

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you!

[@uomodonore245]

The glory that was Rome!

[@lesliecarr312]

That tiger. Even without the head and legs, I recognized it instantly. And the paintings of birds and plants, I have to say, Ancient Roman artwork is absolutely incredible and beautiful. I don't think those old guys get enough credit for their artistic and engineering abilities. Even some of the mosaics have a nearly photographic quality. One of the things I'd like to hear more about is the industries of Ancient Rome. Details of metalworks, glassworks, and textiles. These aspects of Ancient Roman life clearly had dedicated infrastructures and personnel. Why isn't anyone talking about it? It's a backbone of Roman civilization.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Yes we will do future videos on those topics

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Indeed. If people got the idea to put Hero's invention to productive work, Rome would have industrialized and perhaps Christianity would not have become popular enough to convert Constantine's mum or attain his ear.

[@sugarnads]

Its discussed a lot. Just not in popular work.

[@annanardo2358]

Very interesting idea !!! Let's hope he does it.🤗🤗🤗 It's worth looking into...

[@edwardmiessner6502]

I'm awed at the engineering, architectural, and decorative skills of the ancient Romans. And a sculpted tiger! That shows they went all the way to India to find and bring back these wondrous yet terrifying creatures.

[@davidolien2828]

[@scottduke2809]

wonderful! thank you so much for the thoughtful descriptions as you walked through the site, the layouts and levels can be a bit daunting to understand via video but you did a really really nice job.

[@jamesbarnett2483]

This is excellent! Thanks so much for posting.

[@DonariaRegia]

The methodical return of these ancient ruins into the public light is a gift to generations yet born. Would you be open to making a video about the Temple of Fortuna Primigenia? The sheer scale of what remains is hard to believe. You might want to bring a drone to capture it all. The largest surviving concrete structure from ancient Rome. A living testament of their ability to shape the land to their needs.

[@AncientRomeLive]

On the list - and part of Darius’ PhD dissertation ✌️

[@DonariaRegia]

@@AncientRomeLive I would have bet money Darius had studied the ruins on site. Sure enough. That will be a real eye-opener for those new to the temple! We will all learn as we have today. Thank you!

[@louisbriffa4016]

Hi Darius, thank you for all the videos you post, very flowing and informative ....i love Rome SO MUCH so when i feel nostalgia of the citta eterna i resort to your videos ......i also rally enjoyed the live from the pantheon area ...felt like being there ...louis from Malta

Amazing as always Dar, thank you. Everyone should help with donations to Ancient Rome live to keep these amazing videos coming to us which are like no others.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you!!

[@Chappell460]

Thank you for this excellent video! Did the Ramp of Domitian ascend all the way to the top of the Palatine (atop the substructures), where there has long been an overlook? If so, can one make that full ascent (or descent, in reverse) today? It looks like one can climb the Ramp of Domitian from near Santa Maria Antiqua up to the Clivus Victoriae and then follow that road to the base of the Farnese Aviaries, but I'm not sure if one can go any higher than that from the Ramp of Domitian (via any stairs or other path) up to or near the overlook on top. (Basically, just wondering if -- as implied by the official press release -- the new (Sept. 2023) access provides a new way to move between the Forum and the top of Palatine Hill.)

[@Asgoga]

Tiberius for me is most interesting emperor often portrayed as dark and gloomy character is actually most misunderstood emperor and only quite recently modern Historians started to see works by Tacitus and especially Seutonius as highly biased, sensationalist and very much untrustworthy in term of judging Emperors Character or their Rule. It's so unfortunate that Autobiography by Tiberius, didn't survived to our days only alluded in some historic writing, it would of let us know his real views and character.

[@Breakfast_of_Champions]

[@FlexibleFlyer50]

I've enjoyed your videos on the Roman forum and the various palaces. I didn't get to see any of these features when I was in Rome many years ago. We had a choice of seeing the catacombs or the Roman forum; naturally, all the young males in the group staked out their claim to the catacombs. At least now after watching your videos I can have a sense of the scale and sweeping presence of all these buildings. I can only imagine them in all their glory!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Yes the heart of Ancient Rome!

Tell TIT( no, that cant be the best acronym haha) from me that i need his new book on auible aswell. the first one was brilliant! Do you have any books?

[@larsrons7937]

Beautiful, this is so intriguing. When I was in Rome last time 9 y. ago, in 2014, most of this area was covered and later excavated? Or just not accessible to the public? I don't recall such a vast amount of structures there. I am eager to so this.

[@steakinbacon8593]

Both technically even the colosseum was partially underground until it was excavated in the early twentieth century.

[@jmhatyoutube6283]

Wow! I am totally confused! I can’t think of a better illustration of the difficulties and the difficult decisions to be made in developing a multilayered site, when each layer represents a pivotal time period, and a distinct personality. Yikes. I’m going to have to watch this more than once, with multiple pauses to study the plans that you were kind enough to supply. What an amazing place.

[@pierrejourdan4819]

Par les dimensions, on peut confondre les vestiges de la domus aurea et ceux de la domus hadriana même si les fresques peintes sont de facture plus simple dans la dernière. Les romains avaient l'étrange habitude de ne pas déblayer les gravats après la destruction d'un édifice. Ils recouvraient les débris par une plus ou moins vaste terrasse maçonnée architecturée. C'est un peu grâce à cette coutume que l'on a pu retrouver un premier passage vers la Domus aurea de Néron entre-autres... En tout cas bravo ! Vous maîtrisez bien votre sujet...

[@bill9989]

Darius, can you give your opinion about the Neronian Cryptoporticus? I understand that many scholars believe that it is the tunnel where Caligula was murdered. I walked through it in May of this year.

[@AncientRomeLive]

It’s Neronian, so constructed well after Caligula’s reign… there are other underground passageways in the Domus Tiberiana. Darius has explored them- also for some shows on Caligula.

[@bill9989]

@@AncientRomeLive I thought they determined the "Neronian" label came because Nero improved/beautified the already existing tunnel. And that the N.C. was determined to be Caligula's murder site by process of elimination.

[@imadickens3337]

It blows my mind to think this was around the time of Jesus! Wow!

[@AndreaMoletta-s3c]

About the lower part, the fact that the Chiesa di Santa Maria Antiqua (Ancient Church of Saint Mary) was a Byzantine/East-Roman construction dating probably from the reign of Justinian. It made me think; was the Domus Tiberiana the residence of the East-Roman governor of Rome?

The palatine was not owned by the papacy. It remained an imperial possession until the mid-8th century under the Byzantines. the byzantine governor had is residence and offices there. a pope did live there for a while. the popes lived in the Lateran palace next to the cathedral of rome, St. John.
