THE DOMUS AUREA AND THE ROMAN

ARCHITECTURAL REVOLUTION

Nero’s palace, the Domus Aurea (Golden House), is the most inﬂuen-

tial known building in the history of Roman architecture. It has been

incompletely studied and poorly understood since its most important sec-

tions were excavated in the 1930s. In this book, Larry F. Ball provides

systematic investigation of the Domus Aurea, including a comprehen-

sive analysis of the preserved masonry, the design, and the abundant an-

cient literary evidence. Highlighting the revolutionary innovations of the

Domus Aurea, Ball also outlines their wide-ranging implications for the

later development of Roman concrete architecture.

Larry F. Ball is Professor of Art History at the University of Wisconsin –

Stevens Point. A Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and a Regular

Member of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, he is a

scholar of Greek and Roman architecture. He has contributed to the

Journal of Roman Archaeology and the American Journal of Archaeology.
