Just south of the Roman Forum and offering a stunning view of the ancient city, this area includes imperial and patrician residences including those of the Emperor Domitian. Originally the Domus Flavia had walls completely lined with polished marble - Domitian feared assassination and in this way he could see the reflection of anyone coming towards him. The courtyard still has its fine pavement in colored marble. Close by can be seen a number of holes, made for the posts of huts, possibly dating from the 9th Century BCE. It is thought that these were Rome's first huts, attributed by legend to the hand of Romulus himself.
