Underneath the Basilica of Ss Giovanni e Paolo in Clivo di Scauro, Celio is a Roman house complex dating from the 5th century AD.
Case Romane
The buildings have been carefully restored and have some painted rooms which are in good condition. I hadn't heard about this site until we saw Prof Mary Beard's series "Meet the Romans". It is really worth a visit. We had the place to ourselves and wandered around for ages. When we come back to Rome in a few weeks we'll do a tour so that we can learn a bit more about the place.
Thank you Mary Beard!
