caesar novus Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) There's been news of various new archeological discoveries, but I assume there will be lag time before the objects or sites are open for public viewing. So what is newly opened in the greater Rome area, or what has been recently renovated, and is there any practical advice on visiting? For example I gather Nero's palace basement is being renovated, but you can visit by appointment?

If we're talking 2008, then the house of Augustus would be the most important I guess. The excavations on the Pincio might still be visible, and there are small excavations in preparation for the new metro line, though they are usually fenced off and will not be prepared for public visits for obvious reasons. Last I heard Nero's palace was closed indefinately once more, but in Rome that could mean anything really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkor Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I was well pissed off when I arrived at Nero's Golden House in April and they wouldn't let me in :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
