Lorium, Archaeological site in Rome, Italy
The excavated ruins at Lorium contain foundations of Roman buildings, residential villas, and ancient structures spread across multiple terraces near Castel di Guido.
Located 19 kilometers west of Rome on the Via Aurelia, Lorium served as an imperial residence where Emperor Antoninus Pius received education and spent his final days.
Excavations in 2006 at Villa dell'Olivella revealed intricate mosaic floors and a nymphaeum with fountains, demonstrating Roman architectural techniques and lifestyle preferences.
The archaeological site features three monumental terraces constructed with white limestone opus reticulatum, positioned between Castel di Guido and the Bottaccia estate.
Emperor Marcus Aurelius documented his experiences at Lorium, mentioning how the uneven stones of Via Aurelia caused problems for his horse during travels.
