By their stylistic mastery and the richness of the materials used, they occupy a place of extraordinary importance in the art of the Neronian age. Suetonius, in describing the subject of Nero\u2019s first residence on the Palatine, wrote that \u201ceverything was covered with gold, precious stones and mother-of-pearl\u201d: true enough, the paintings from the Neronian nymphaeum, inlaid with glass paste and semiprecious stones, exactly match Suetonius\u2019s words, together with the floors and walls inlaid with coloured marbles. The decorative scheme of the frescoed vaults, now exhibited at the Palatine Museum, reproduces a coffered ceiling, with a virtual framework of red beams enclosing, among grotesque vegetation, scenes depicting the heroes of the Homeric epic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Admission with <a href=\"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/visit\/opening-times-and-tickets\/\">Forum Pass SUPER and Full Experience tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1317,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mirabilia\/2068"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mirabilia"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mirabilia"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mirabilia\/2068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11643,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mirabilia\/2068\/revisions\/11643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
