This week some rooms of a luxurious domus from the late Republican age were discovered in the archaeological park of the Colosseum which is part of a study and research project. The exact location is in the same area where during the Augustan age, the Horrea Agrippiana were built: the famous warehouses along the Vicus Tuscus (commercial road that connected the river port on the Tiber and the Roman forum) built by Augustus' son-in-law, Marco Vipsanio Agrippa.

Domus, in ancient Rome, means house, and more specifically it’s the word used for houses owned in the past by wealthy people in the city. This most recent discovery revealed a splendid and luxurious house full of mosaics, stuccos, polychrome glass, marble.
