Stadium of Domitian

733
This elongated garden (late 1st c.), part of Domitian’s imperial palace on the Palatine, was used for private ceremonies and athletic displays. Despite its name, it was not a public stadium but an imperial garden richly adorned with sculptures and fountains, showcasing the emperor’s wealth, luxury, and absolute power.
