House of Augustus
The House of Augustus, or the ''Domus Augusti'' (but also ''Domus Augustea''), is the first major site upon entering the Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy. It served as the primary residence of Caesar Augustus during his reign. The Domus Augusti should not be confused with the Domus Augustana (also known as the Domus Augustiana), which is a part of the vast palatial complex constructed by Emperor Domitian on the Palatine in 92 AD, of which the Domus Flavia is another part.〔Richardson, Lawrence. "Domus Augstana" From ''A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 1992. Print.〕
==Construction==
After being awarded ''tribunica potestas'' for life in 23 BC, Octavian decided to buy the house of Quintus Hortensius on the Palatine and make it his primary place of residence.〔Tomei, Maria Antonietta. The Palatine. Trans. Luisa Guarneri Hynd. Milano: Electa, 1998. Print.〕 The comparative modesty of the Domus Augusti was in keeping with the return to traditional ideals promoted during the Augustan period, as indicated by Suetonius in the quote below. The Domus Augusti was located near the Hut of Romulus and other sacred sites which relate to the foundation of Rome. In antiquity this residence contained two levels, each leading to a garden courtyard. The bottom floor is not accessible today, but it is possible to make out the basin of a fountain and the rooms beyond it that were paved in coloured marble.〔(Damien. Lonely Planet Italy. 8th ed.
