Horti Liciniani, Ancient Roman garden complex on Esquiline Hill, Rome, Italy
The Horti Liciniani features a fourth-century domed nymphaeum with a dodecagonal shape and remains of marble decorations on both interior and exterior walls.
The gardens belonged to the Licinia family before becoming the property of Emperor Gallienus in the third century, who established his residence with his court.
Eight major aqueducts supplied water to the Esquiline Hill gardens, enabling the maintenance of rich vegetation and the operation of numerous fountains.
The Century Montemartini museum displays artifacts from the site, including a large mosaic floor depicting hunting scenes discovered in 1904.
Emperor Gallienus planned to erect a colossal statue of himself as the Sun god at the highest point of the gardens, though the project remained incomplete.
