The Domus Aurea, also known as the Golden House, was an enormous palace complex built in Rome by Emperor Nero after the Great Fire of 64 AD. It was named as such due to the large amount of gold used to decorate its interiors. The Domus Aurea was characterized by its extravagant and luxurious designs, featuring spacious gardens, ponds, halls, and corridors adorned with frescoes and mosaics. Although much of its splendor was lost over time, many of the archaeological remains found in the Domus Aurea are of great historical and artistic importance.
