Index | Hadrian's Villa


Hadrian's Villa: Now simply an assemblage of ruins, about fifteen miles from Rome, near Tivoli, perhaps the most impressive in Italy. It included the Greek and Latin theaters, so called, an odeum, thermae, a stadium, a palace, several temples, spacious structures for guards and attendants, and many subsidiary buildings and devices. Of most of these there are extensive remains; and here were found many of the fine statues now in Roman museums.
