“Fatta costruire per sé una casa che dal Palatino<br />

andava all’Esquilino, dapprima la chiamò Transitoria;<br />

poi, quando un incendio la distrusse, la fece ricostruire<br />

e la chiamò Aurea”<br />

(G. Svetonio, Vita di <strong>Nerone</strong>, 31)<br />

‘He made a palace extending all the way from<br />

the Palatine to the Esquiline, which at first he called<br />

the House of Passage, but when it was burned shortly<br />

after its completion and rebuilt, the Golden House’<br />

(G. Suetonius, Nero, 31)<br />
