The Architecture of Power: Great Palaces of the Ancient World

Nero's Domus Transitoria at Rome (1x15)

Ausstrahlung: Sep 12, 2018

We find Nero's palaces made of a new Roman concrete where bespoke designs could finally replace the utilitarian boxes of stone, thus making way for domed ceilings, custom columns, and any form he desired.
