that featured this style were a creamy white and was subdivided by an elaborate gold trim.
Each of these subdivisions featured a small land or cityscape in the middle of each
subdivision.Connected to Nero's main dinning room was a vaulted room which featured a
frieze that was 2.2 meters high and stretched, unbroken, through the room to a total
length of 65.84 meters. |

this frieze was lined with cockle shells, and at the center of this room stood a large
fountain. Another room featured a mosaic of Odysseus giving wine to the Cyclops. The
Esquiline wing of this house featured elaborate baths that served as the model for the
later Baths of Titus These are but a few examples of the interior of Nero's Golden House
that can only be termed as lavish. |
