Art Net has a recent article about the conservation of the House of the Griffins which dates from the first century BC, and is on the slopes of the Palatine Hill in Rome. It remains an extremely well preserved site, because the house was absorbed into the complex of the Imperial Palace and whilst losing its upper floors the basement survived having been filled with earth to support Domitian’s extension above it.
The restored building will open at the beginning of March and includes the latest technology to facilitate virtual visits to inaccessible parts.
