Rising above the valley in which was later built the Colosseum, the Esquiline was a fashionable residential district. At the southern-most cusp, the Oppius, Nero confiscated property to build his extravagant, mile-long Golden House - you can still see some of its remains. Later, Trajan (ever wanting popularity!) built Rome's most lavish baths on the crest of the Hill.

I have several rooms in the Villa, which you are welcome to visit. If you want a guided tour, just ask my majo domo, Pyrex Hetairos (he's Macedonian, so ignore the funny hat). He'll be glad to find wine AND give you the tour.

Hetairos
My household is fairly small, as this is an old family home and I am not as wealthy as some of the newer residents of the Esquiline! - but you will meet, if you go with Pyrex, the servants working in each of the rooms during your tour.
