I read the Wikipedia entry for "Domus aurea," this complex/mansion Nero built that's named after its dome. Here's one thing from the article: 'Celer and Severus [Nero's architects] also created an ingenious mechanism, cranked by slaves, that made the ceiling underneath the dome revolve like the heavens, while perfume was sprayed and rose petals were dropped on the assembled diners. According to some accounts, perhaps embellished by Nero's political enemies, on one occasion such quantities of rose petals were dropped that one unlucky guest was asphyxiated (a similar story is told of the emperor Elagabalus). "Nero gave the best parties, ever," archaeologist Wallace-Hadrill told an interviewer ... Nero, who was obsessed with his status as an artist, certainly regarded parties as works of art. His official party planner was Petronius.' I searched the word ‘aurea’ to find out what it means (’golden’ I think).
