Sessorium, Palace and archaeological site in Esquiliae district, Rome, Italy
The Sessorium contains remains of a palace complex with thermal baths, an amphitheater, and gardens near the Claudius Aqueduct in Rome.
Emperor Septimius Severus initiated the construction of this imperial residence, which Elagabalus completed during the third century CE.
The complex transformed into a Christian center when Constantine converted a rectangular hall into the basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
The archaeological area stands at Viale Castrense 5 in Rome, managed by local authorities who maintain the ancient structures.
The Aurelian walls incorporated most sections of the Sessorium, turning its Castrense Amphitheater into a defensive bastion between 271 and 275 CE.
