Home / News / Metro C line becomes a museum: a journey through the history of the underground Rome

Once again Rome unveils its hidden treasures. Thanks to the excavations to construct the C line of the subway under the Eternal City, a splendor of mosaics, frescoes, gold rings and dagger handles emerge: it is the domus of the Commander.

After the remains of the dormitory of a Roman barracks, emerged in the spring of 2016, it is now the turn of the centurion’s house. It is a rectangular building of about 300 square meters of Hadrianic age (beginning of the second century after Christ), consisting of 14 rooms arranged around a central courtyard with fountains and tubs.

This station has archeological relevance because the excavation of barracks in Rome had never been done.
