NERo's GOLDEN House.
Its Magnifcence Seems Almost Re-
yOnd Belief TO Modern Minds,

ht"h tue TnIaueiphla Press.
On that part of the ruins OF imperial
Rome lying between the Palatine and the
hsquillne hills-a space which was more
than mile in breadth-Nero erected his
celebrated Golden House" as he called
the new palace in which he fixed his
abode The vastness of extent and the
varied magnificence of this imperial resi-
dence and its ornamental grounds almost
surpass belief; but IL the details that have
come down to us respecting 1t were not too
Wen authenticated to admit of doubt they
might be regarded as fabulous.
Within its tnclOsure were comprised spa-
clcus fields, groves, orchards and vine
yards, artificial lakes. hills and dense
woods, after the manner of a solitude or
wilderness.
The palace itself consisted of maguta
cent buildings, raised on the shores of the
lake. The various wings were united by
galleries, each a mile in length. The house
or immediate dwelling of the emperor was
decorated in a style of excessive gorgeous
ness 1t was rooted entirely with golden
tiles, and with the same precious metal
also the marble sheathng Of the walls was
profusely decked. being at the same time
embellished with ornaments OF mother OF
pearl - in those times valued even more
highly than gold-and with profusion OF
precious stones.
The ceilings and woodwork were fnlaid
with iron and gold. And the roof Of the
grand banqueting hail was constructed to
resemble the armament. 1t was contrived
to have rotary motion. to initiate
the motion OF the heavenly bodies.
The vaulted ceilings OF ivory opened and

which he built the coliseum, and pulled
down all that Nero had erected beyond
the Palatine, reducing the imperial palace
to the hill that once contained Rome.

had pulled down and added to the palace

additions to the south of the Palattne. es-

has been much disputed. While in later

Among the modern discoveries Of the
palace were a room full of Roman coins
and a hall hung with cloth of gold, and In
