Secrets of the Domus Aurea
Actual History
The Domus Aurea (Latin for "Golden House") was a large palace built by the Roman emperor Nero after the fire that devastated Rome in 64 AD had cleared the aristocratic dwellings on the slopes of the Esquiline Hill.
Storyline
In the year 64AD (after the Great Fire of Rome) Nero built the Domus Aurea (or “Golden House”). This is the story that is known. The story that is not common is the secret that the Domus Aurea hides and of your adventures within.
It is now 5 September 476 AD and yesterday Romulus Augustus was deposed (history will show that he will not be replaced). During Rome’s fall stories of a powerful secret hidden within the catacombs of the Domus Aurea have surfaced, and being the curious type that you are, you have set out to find the truth or fiction of them.
Welcome to Secrets of the Domus Aurea.
