So today we had a tour of the Domus Aurea. It is an amazing entertainment complex that Nero had built, which was covered over by Trajan with his major bath complex. A lot of it was excavated, but it is still all underground. Photos below. A must, if you get to Rome. One of our fellow participants was @dariusaryadigs who was the host of the excellent series Ancient Invisible Cities, much of which is underground, on PBS (and Amazon Prime). Amazing stuff about Athens, Istanbul and Cairo. He was on the tour with his parents. Small world.
