The Golden House of Nero: Some Aspects of Roman Architecture by Axel Boëthius.
First edition, 1960, published by the University of Michigan Press.
This scholarly work explores the architectural innovations of Nero’s Domus Aurea (“Golden House”) and places them within the broader history of Roman building. Originally delivered as lectures at the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan, Boëthius’s study examines how Nero’s palace represented both continuity and experimentation in classical architecture.
Axel Boëthius (1889–1969), a Swedish classical archaeologist and historian of architecture, was a leading authority on Etruscan and Roman antiquities. His works remain foundational to the study of ancient art and building traditions.
