Lost first-century villa likely visited by three emperors unearthed outside Rome

Archaeologists have unearthed a lavish first-century villa visited by three emperors in the Castel di Guido region on the outskirts of Rome, shedding new light on the life of elite Romans of the time.

The villa was discovered during digs about 19km (12miles) west of the city walls of Rome in the ancient region of Lorium, where previously a property linked to emperor Antoninus Pius was found.
