Horti Epaphroditiani, Archaeological site on Esquiline Hill, Rome, Italy
The Horti Epaphroditiani extends across a section of the Esquiline Hill near Porta Maggiore, featuring remnants of ancient Roman gardens and water systems.
The gardens belonged to Tiberius Claudius Epaphroditus, a Greek-born freedman who served as secretary to Emperor Nero during the first century CE.
These gardens exemplify the Roman practice of creating large private green spaces that incorporated advanced water management through aqueduct connections.
The archaeological site corresponds to the current location of Piazza Fanti in Rome, where excavations have revealed structural elements of the ancient gardens.
Frontinus documented the gardens as a reference point where the Anio Novus aqueduct transferred water to the Aqua Tepula conduit system.
