House of Augustus, Roman emperor residence on Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy.
The House of Augustus features two levels with marble floors, courtyards with gardens, and private chambers decorated with colorful frescoes from the second style.
Built in the 1st century BCE, the residence gained sacred status in 27 BCE with laurel trees at the entrance and a civic crown on the pediment.
The architecture combines public and private spaces, with the eastern wing dedicated to official functions and the western section reserved for personal quarters.
Visitors can explore several restored rooms of the imperial residence, including the emperor's private study and bedroom, which contain preserved wall decorations.
Archaeological excavations in 1961 revealed that the imperial residence originated from the amalgamation of seven separate republican-era houses.
