Horti Maiani, Archaeological site in Regio V Esquiliae, Rome, Italy.

The archaeological complex contains remnants of Roman gardens with fountains, pools, and terraces spread across the Esquiline Hill near modern Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.

The gardens entered imperial ownership during the reign of Tiberius and were transformed into a luxurious villa with pavilions under Emperor Caligula's direction.

The site reveals the advanced gardening methods of ancient Romans through structural remains and archaeological findings that demonstrate sophisticated landscaping techniques.

Visitors should contact local archaeological authorities for access information, as the site requires special permissions and scheduling for exploration.

Pliny the Elder documented the presence of a 120-foot colossal statue of Nero within the gardens before its destruction in ancient times.
