House of Augustus Opens to Public

You can now tour the palatial home of Emperor Augustus Caesar. Some nice pics of the wall frescoes offer a rare glimpse into the home life of Rome's first Emperor.

What a nice find!

The Dallas Museum of Art has the "From the Ashes of Vesuvius" exhibition currently residing in its galleries. My daughter and I went to go see it -- they had carefully repositioned things in the gallery to give a "feel" of what it might have been like to be in some of the rooms.

You could certainly see a difference in the artists' abilities in the statues and frescoes. But it was fascinating; we wanted to stay much longer!

man i would love to go see the house of agustus that would be amazing

I wonder what Agustus would think of tourists from the future prancing through his palace like they owned the place? :p
