• A disaster followed, whether accidental or treacherously contrived by the Emperor is uncertain, as authors have given both accounts…

• A rumor had gone forth that, at the very time the city was in flames, the Emperor appeared on a private stage and sang of the destruction of Troy, comparing present misfortunes with the calamities of antiquity… It seemed that Nero was aiming at the glory of founding a new city and calling it by his name….

• Nero meanwhile availed himself of his country’s desolation, and erected a mansion in which the jewels and gold…were not so marvelous as the fields and lakes, with woods on one side to resemble a wilderness, and, on the other, open spaces and extensive views…[with] the genius and audacity to attempt by art even what nature had refused. replaces Golden House with and Baths of political palimpsest: restores the private to the public Martial on Vespasian’s building projects on the site of Nero’s Golden House

• Where the starry colossus sees the constellations at close range and lofty scaffolding rises in the middle of the road, once gleamed the odious halls of a cruel monarch, and in all Rome there stood a single house.

• Where rises before our eyes the august pile of the amphitheater, was once Nero’s lake. Where we admire the warm baths, a speedy gift, a haughty tract of land had robbed the poor of their dwellings.

• Rome has been restored to herself and under your rule Caesar [Vespasian], the pleasures that belonged to a master now belong to the people. (Golden House 64-68 CE) / Severus and Celer Domus Aurea: Octagonal room—, barrel and groin vaulting
