History
A well-appointed domus of the mid-second century CE that was consumed by the construction works to create the Thermae Antoninianae, resulting in its being buried to a depth of some 10 m in construction fill. Heritage officials describe the house as a sort of 'condominium', comparing it to the contemporary insulae of Ostia.

Pleiades
The house was discovered during excavations carried out by Giovan Battista Guidi in a vineyard located on his own property between 1858 and 1869. The 1870 flood of the Tiber River damaged the site. In the 1970s, new excavations took place under C. Moccheggiani Carpano. Following restoration and conservation, the archaeological site opened to the public on 23 June 2022.
