House of Livia

The House of Livia spans multiple rooms across different levels, featuring painted walls that showcase decorative patterns and mythological scenes throughout its chambers.

Built during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the first century BC, this residence belonged to his wife Livia Drusilla, who lived there until her death in 29 AD.

The frescoes within the residence display detailed garden scenes and architectural elements, representing the painting techniques and artistic preferences of early imperial Rome.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through the Roman Forum entrance, with guided tours available to explore the preserved sections of the ancient residence.

The central tablinium contains the Room of Polyphemus, where wall paintings portray mythological narratives against red and yellow backgrounds characteristic of Roman art.
