Villa dei Quintili, Rome

The web site states that an entrance on the Appian Way is open on Saturdays and Sundays but this is very unreliable.

The web site states that an entrance on the Appian Way is open on Saturdays and Sundays but this is very unreliable. This impressive villa was recently excavated and restored. It covers 23 hectares. It is accessed from the Via Appia Nuova but parts can be seen from the Appian Way at around the 5th mile. The villa was built by Maximus and Condinus Quintilii. The emperor Commudus liked it so much that he put the brothers to death in 182 A.D. and took it for himself. A museum has friezes and sculptures from the villa. The nypheum, the tepidarium and the baths may also be visited.
