context_page_description: The Villa of Domitian, known as Albanum Domitiani or Albanum Caesari in Latin, was a vast and sumptuous Roman villa or palace built by Emperor Titus Flavius Domitian. It was situated 20 km outside Rome, in the Alban Hills, in the ancient territory of Ager Albanus.
  Today the remains of the villa are located mostly within the estate of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, and the rest in the towns of Castel Gandolfo and Albano Laziale. The Villa Barberini gardens are open to visitors.
context_section_description: On the western shore of Lake Albano, 2 km after the Doric nymphaeum is a circular cave of 17 m diameter. A pool is in the middle of the cave, and the floor was completely covered with mosaics, of which a few fragments remain.
  Various parts of sculptural groups found in the nymphaeum are now kept at the Pontifical Palace in Castel Gandolfo
