<p>Remains of a luxurious Republican residence are extant on the *Palatine under the “Lararium” of the Flavian Palace (<i>domus Augustiana</i>). Commonly known as the “Casa dei Grifi” after its stucco decorations, the house is admired for its fine early Second Style wall-paintings (Coarelli; contra, Richardson). Originally constructed in <i>opus incertum</i> during the mid-2nd c. B.C., the building received various modifications in <i>opus quasi reticulatum</i> afterwards, perhaps as a consequence of the same fire in 111 B.C. that ravaged the Temple of *Magna Mater (Coarelli; contra, Blake 1946, who dates the house to the early 1st c. B.C., and its modifications to the mid-1st c. B.C.). A number of proprietors have been proposed for the residence, though none persuasively enough to adopt here (Papi 26): Numerius Fabius Pictor (<i>c</i>. 93 B.C.) and the Fabii in general (Van Buren), Q. Hortensius (Castagnoli 186-87), a Catiline (while Papi attributes this theory to Blake 1930, she is actually quite careful to distance herself from it, e.g., “the so-called House of Catiline” on 87). Only a few subterranean rooms survive the numerous interventions on the site; Nero and the Flavian emperors took a great toll on the residence, but even by the Augustan era the subterranean rooms had been infilled and foundations for a new residence “ruthlessly driven through” their vaults (Blake 1946, 296). As the footprint of the Augustan-era residence is unknown, only the site is marked on our map.</p>
