Travel Plans and the House of Augustus

You should have received an email by now from Dr. Hartnett with information about flights and hotels. If you need additional information or haven't received the email, please let us know.

I have just heard from Rome that we will be able to go into the House of Augustus. This site on the Palatine Hill is closed to the public but we've gotten permission from the
Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma to spend an hour there on Monday. We'll be able to see the house Augustus had built in the first century BC and the nearby Temple of Apollo and the remains of the Hut of Romulus. While the house Augustus built is not as magestic as those built by later emperors, it is impressive and says something about this first leader of the Principate that he chose to build such a small house, surrounded by symbols of Rome's foundation and the gods. Only two rooms are open, the Room of the Masks and the Room of the Pine Garlands, both named after the decorations in the rooms and wonderful examples of Roman wall painting.
