Talk:Domus Aurea

message: Since I know the Fire was in 64 CE not 64 BCE, I'm not confused. How's everyone else doing without any tags, I wonder? Wetman 01:13, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: I don't recognize the picture but it does not look like the Domus Aurea I visited.
It was underground in the park of the Oppian Hill.

replies: text: That is a picture of the Domus Aurea's above-ground area on that hill (the Baths of Trajan), taken in Rome in May of this year. Did you take any pictures? See  for the archeological plan, and  for a photo essay. -- RyanFreisling @ 20:02, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I see, so it is not the Domus Aurea but the ground above it. I have relabeled. --Error 23:55, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been my experience that the area (not just the underground section) is referred to as the Domus Aurea by those who live in the neighborhood (Narone), but technically the building itself is the Baths of Trajan. Thanks for the clarified caption. -- RyanFreisling @ 03:07, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong picture

message: I hid the following section... I'm not motherlanguage in English, I think it should be placed properly and better introduced with explaining WHY and/or WHERE those graffiti are found
Romans excelled at the subversive art of graffiti. An example of the wall writes is the following:
::ROMA DOMUS FIET: VEIOS MIGRATE QUIRITES
::SI NON ET VEIOS OCCUPAT ISTA DOMUS
::"The whole of Rome will become a home - quirites,
::"Move house to Veii before that house swallows up Veii too."
::I  removed  this   bit too  because without the   above  paragraphs,  the   following paragraph makes  no  sense.
Beneath the wit, the idea that the genii loci, the Quirites of the Quirinal hill, would have to abandon Rome gave a Roman reader of the graffito a chill sense of foreboding.

::==Nero and the Great Fire==
"It has long been rumored that Nero himself may have secretly ordered the fire started to make way for his Golden House." This is not the rumor, which is discussed at Great Fire of Rome. --Error 01:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Paintings need more coverage 

message: The Domus Aurea is located just southeast of the Colosseo on the southern spur of the Esquiline Hill often called the Oppian Hill (although it's part of the Esquiline when referring to the Seven Hills of Rome).  It is positively NOT located on the Palatine.  I think that is a glaring error with this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siglaw1893 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Esquiline Hill NOT Palatine 

message: Please can anybody clarify this line:
The frescoes depicted Tabby, Molly and Elly, the three Goddesses of Beauty dancing around a tree.
I can find no references to "Tabby, Molly and Elly" anywhere....

thread_title:  The frescoes depicted Tabby, Molly and Elly, the three Goddesses of Beauty dancing around a tree. 

message: At the very end under External Links, it has:
.
Preceded by Domus Augustana 
Domus Aurea 
Succeeded by Domus Transitoria
.
Whereas the text has the Golden House replacing the Domus Transitoria, the latter destroyed in the great fire of 64 A.D. 
The page on the Domus Augustana indicates it was built around 92 A.D. well after the Golden House.
