Archaeological Box of the Domus Aventino

The Archaeological Box of the Domus Aventino is an archaeological site in Rome, Italy.

It is located on the Aventine Hill, and preserves the remains of a Roman domus from the 1st century AD.

The domus was a luxury home, with a surface area of over 2,000 square meters.

It had a garden, a peristyle, a triclinium, a tablinum and several other rooms.

The domus was built during the Augustan age, and was inhabited by a rich Roman family.

The house was decorated with frescoes, mosaics and sculptures.

In the 2nd century AD, the domus was enlarged and renovated.

A new wing was added, with a thermal bath and a gym.

The domus was abandoned in the 4th century AD.

Its remains were rediscovered in the 19th century, and were the subject of archaeological excavations in the 20th century.

In 2007, the domus was opened to the public as an archaeological site.

The Archaeological Box of the Domus Aventino is an important example of Roman architecture.

The site offers an interesting insight into the daily life of high-class Roman families.
