About this work
Description
The key identifies the hot water supply, the house of Titus, a sports ground, a theatre, and a sun room. The structures were constructed on the Esquiline as part of the Golden House of Nero, and subsequently absorbed into the Baths of Titus or possibly Baths of Trajan. Their location later became the garden of Palazzo Brancaccio, the home of the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Orientale
