The Flavian Palace, or Domus Flavia, was the public and ceremonial wing of Domitian’s vast palace on Rome’s Palatine Hill, completed in AD 92 and linked to the private Domus Augustana. Built over earlier palaces of Nero, it centered on a grand peristyle and housed imposing spaces for audiences, councils, banquets, and imperial display, including the Aula Regia and a richly adorned water garden. Though much of its decoration and height have been lost, the surviving remains still convey its enormous scale. Used and modified long after Domitian, it remains a clear example of Roman imperial architecture serving power, ritual, and spectacle.
