Domus Flavia
- Address: Southern crest of Palatino, Ancient Rome, Rome | Map It
- Category: Castles/Palaces
- Location: Palatine Hill
Fodor's Review:
This palace in the Palazzi Imperiali complex was used by Domitian for official functions and ceremonies. Also called Palazzo dei Flavi, it included a basilica where the emperor could hold judiciary hearings. There were also a large audience hall, a peristyle (a columned courtyard), and the imperial triclinium (dining room), the latter set in a sunken declivity overlooking the Circus Maximus -- some of its mosaic floors and stone banquettes are still in place.
