The room was probably part of Nero’s famous Domus Aurea, a luxurious palace surrounded by an immense portico.
Everything was covered in gold and lavishly decorated with jewels.
According to Suetonius the ceiling of the dining room was made up of sliding ivory panels and innumerable pipes from which beautiful, scented flowers would come out and rain down upon the guests.
The room which has just been discovered was always turning around itself just like earth does and was powered by a constant flow of water from the sea and two small lakes ( Albula waters).
