context_page_description: The Domus Transitoria was Roman emperor Nero's first palace destroyed by the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, and then replaced by his Domus Aurea.
context_section_description: One of the main buildings is thought to be on the western side of the Oppian Hill under the Baths of Trajan.
  The brick walls of the palace were originally covered with marble at the bottom, while the upper parts were frescoed. A portico fronted the domus along the south side. Almost all of the columns, floors and marble walls were removed when Trajan built his baths (in 104 AD).
  The house was built around a big peristyle with porticos on three sides, while the fourth on the north consisted of a cryptoporticus which supported the rear embankment. At the centre, occupied now by a series of long barrel vaults to support the overlying Trajanic baths are the remains of a fountain; on the eastern part is a large nymphaeum that opens to the courtyard.
