Casa di Livia reopens with multimedia visit.

The Colosseum Archaeological Park has reopened the House of Livia, a first-century BC domus on Rome's Palatine Hill, after a programme of restoration work.

The ancient residence is attributed to the wife of Emperor Augustus due to the name "Iulia Augusta" engraved on a lead water pipe, on display in the tablinum or reception room, according to a statement from Italy's culture ministry.

The building, excavated in the 19th century, comprises a quandrangular atrium onto which open four rooms with mosaic floors and walls painted with frescoes depicting mythological scenes, dating to around 30 BC.
