The Flavian Palace, also known as Domus Flavia, is a part of the vast residential complex of the Roman Emperors on the Palatine Hill in Rome. It was completed in 92 AD in the reign of Titus Flavius Domitianus, more commonly known as the Emperor Domitian,〔''The Cambridge Ancient History''. Vol. XI. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000.〕 and attributed to his master architect, Rabirius.〔Darwall-Smith, Robin Haydon. ''Emperors and Architecture: A Study of Flavian Rome''. Brussels: Latomus Revue D'Etudes Latines, 1996.〕 Well known for its grandeur, the Flavian Palace was more commonly used for purposes of state, while the Domus Augustana, an enormous, lavishly ornamented palace south of the Flavian Palace, was the Emperor’s primary residence.〔Robathan, Dorothy M. "Domitian's 'Midas-Touch'". ''Transactions and Proceedings of the American Philological Association'' 73 (1942): 130-144.〕 == Layout == It contains several large rooms and suites of rooms; the main rooms are the ''Basilica'', the ''Aula Regia'', the ''Lararium'', and the ''Triclinium''. The ''Basilica'' is a group of three rooms and is the first part of the palace visible from the ''Clivus Palatinus'', the road that connects the Roman Forum to the Palatine Hill. The next room is the ''Aula Regia'', one of the biggest rooms in the palace. In the time of Domitian, the walls had a marble veneer, and there were Phrygian marble columns and an elaborately carved frieze. The third room, the ''Lararium'', is the smallest and most poorly preserved room in the palace. Behind it was once a staircase providing access to the Domus Augustana. There were also a peristyle and suites of rooms to the west and east of these three rooms. The ''Triclinium'' is the last major room in the palace. Like the ''Aula Regia'', it was large and extravagantly decorated, with Corinthian columns and a frieze. It opened on two courtyards with fountains to the north and south.〔 File:Aula Regia (Roma Palatino).png|Map of Aula Regia File:Domus Flavia - Vestibulum.png|Northern part of ''Domus Flavia'' (Aula Regia, ''basilica'' and ''lararium'') File:Domus Flavia - Peristilium.png|Center part (''peristilium'') File:Domus Flavia - Triclinium.png|Southern part (''Cenatio Iovis'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flavian Palace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
