Domus Severiana, Ancient Roman structure on Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy

The Domus Severiana extends across multiple levels on the Palatine Hill, featuring substantial brick substructures that created an elevated platform for construction.

Emperor Septimius Severus initiated the final expansion of imperial residences on Palatine Hill, incorporating the structure into the existing Palace of Domitian.

The archaeological remains include imperial baths supplied by the Aqua Claudia aqueduct through a system of arches connecting the Palatine and Caelian hills.

Visitors can access the site through guided tours that explore the brick foundations and examine the remaining architectural elements from the Roman period.

The structure originally displayed a grand three-level facade called Septizodium, designed to greet travelers arriving from Africa via the Appian Way.
