Lonely Planet review for Villa dei Quintili

Set on lush green fields between Via Appia Antica and Via Appia Nuova, this vast 2nd-century villa was the luxury abode of two brothers who were consuls under Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Alas, the splendour of the villa was to be the brothers’ downfall – in a fit of jealousy, Emperor Commodus had them both killed, taking over the villa for himself. The highlight is the well-preserved baths complex with a pool, caldarium (hot room) and frigidarium (cold room). There’s also a small display of archaeological bits and bobs found in the vicinity.
