Italian archeologists uncovered what they believe to be the opulent dining room of Nero's Golden House or Domus Aurea in Rome, according to ANSA. The dining room was said to rotate on a wooden platform day and night, following the earth's movements.
Nero's Golden House, built in the first century on the Palatine Hill near the Colosseum, was one of the most outlandish buildings in ancient Rome and is often called Nero's pleasure dome. Part of the huge complex, including rooms with unusual frescoes, was excavated earlier and opened to the public but is now closed for a two-year safety renovation. Continued excavations of Trajan's Baths, a huge complex built over the Domus Aurea, are also being carried out.
