The Domus Aurea or Golden House was important because it was a milestone in building construction. Concrete was used for the first time in a residential structure, enabling a octagon shaped room to be covered with a dome. The domus also had a rotating dining room, the forerunner of our rotating restaurants. There were many more architectual innovations and new surprises are being uncovered.

The phrase 'Domus Aurea' means 'Golden House'. Its construction began in the year 64. It was the pet building project and residence of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus [December 15, 37-June 9, 68]. With Nero's suicide, the area was filled in and covered over with earth for the subsequent building of the Baths of Titus and of Trajan, the Colossus Neronis, the Flavian Amphitheatre, and the Temple of Venus and Rome. Below the ground, the 'Domus Aurea' was forgotten until its rediscovery in the 15th century. To this day, it hasn't been excavated in its entirety. So estimates as to its total size have ranged from less than 100 to more than 300 acres.

A patrician's house was called a domus, the same as any other Roman house. In ancient Rome, a house was a house, its size didn't give it a special name. The only special indication of housing was the "insulae" or apartment houses, which connoted multi-family dwellings rather than private homes for one family.

The Domus Aurea or Golden House, was built by the emperor Nero after the great fire of Rome. It was built for a dual purpose. The first was as a official residence for Nero. The second was for the enjoyment of the Roman people. It was huge and was a masterpiece of innovation. What many historians gloss over is that much of the area covered by the Domus Aurea was open to the public. Its landscaped gardens and lakes brought the country to the city.
