Watch Nero's Golden House

This documentary examines one of the most fascinating pieces of architecture in history, the ornate palace in Rome built by Emperor Nero, which became the eventual site of the massive Colosseum Amphitheater. Although today only a few rooms remain, the original structure was designed by Nero to reflect the complete dominance that his empire had over both land and sea, containing hundreds of rooms, all featuring priceless artwork and statuary. This documentary delves into the psyche of the man who could settle for nothing less than living in the most luxurious palace of any in the world.
