An ancient Roman imperial palazzo atop the city’s Palatine Hill was reopened to tourists on Thursday, nearly 50 years after its closure for restoration.<\/p>\n
The nearly 2,000-year-old Domus Tiberiana was home to rulers in the ancient city\u2019s Imperial period. The sprawling palace allows for sweeping views of the Roman Forum below.<\/p>\n
The public is now able to tour it, following decades of structural restoration work to shore the palace up for safety reasons. Excavations uncovered artifacts from centuries of Roman life following the decline of the empire.<\/p>\n
The director of the Colosseum Archeological Park, which includes the Palatine Hill, in a written description of the restored palazzo, dubbed it “the power palace par excellence.”<\/p>\n

HISTORY EXPERT SAYS IT\u2019S A \u2018VERY AMERICAN THING\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n On the eve of the reopening, the official, Alfonsina Russo, quoted a first-century Roman poet as saying the sprawling palace seemed “infinite” and that “its grandiosity was just like the grandiosity of the sky.”<\/p>\n
