Abstract
In the wide panorama of the Tiburtine villas, dominated by the most famous, impressive, and sumptuous Hadrian's imperial villa, very little remembered, there is a villa, whose construction is elevated starting from the middle of the 1st cent. B.C., with subsequent modifications prior to te imperial age. An important villa, given that it will be chosen by Hadrian ad the foundation of his architectural dream. A villa that must have had valuable characteristics, within a considerable area, with parts finely equipped with magnificent gardens, as evidenced by the sources regarding the Tiburtine villas of the same period. A villa which, moreover, was located in a privileged position and such as to embrace both the highest urban area of Tivoli and the flat one, facing Rome. Therefore, the villa must have been of high prestige, and its structural fragments allow us to trace a typological framework that could also be adopted to formulate initial images of the consistency of the sumptuous villas which have contributed to the celebration of the ager Tiburtinus since the Republican age.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
