This article investigates an aristocratic domus located on the Arx, overlooking the better-known insula of the Aracoeli from the northern summit of the Capitoline hill. This domus was buried during the construction of the basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli in the thirteenth century and remained sealed until the 1980s. I have reconstructed its layout — at least three levels survive — relying on my architectural survey and on the Vittoriano archives. The original phase dates from the first century BC, but substantial restorations were made during the Flavian age, when the domus lost its fauces–atrium–tablinum pattern, and in the early third century AD, when it was expanded vertically by a deep cut into the tuff bank, received a new facade and was redecorated with frescoes. The domus of the Aracoeli must have been a residence of high status, and in the Severan age it was supplied by lead pipes bearing imperial stamps. Although the Capitoline was mostly occupied by public buildings, the Arx was a prestigious neighbourhood and not a sort of monumental acropolis. I discuss the development and the architectural design of the domus of the Aracoeli, including its underground residential spaces as well as its sculptural and painted decoration; finally, I examine the remodellings of the original atrium house from a socio-cultural point of view.

住在卡比托利欧山上：阿拉科利的居所及其雕塑和彩绘装饰

这篇文章调查了一个贵族多莫斯位于 Arx，俯瞰着名的岛状从卡比托利欧山的北峰看到的 Aracoeli。这多莫斯十三世纪在阿拉科利建造圣玛丽亚大教堂时被埋葬，直到 1980 年代才被密封。我已经根据我的建筑调查和 Vittoriano 档案重建了它的布局——至少保留了三个层次。最初的阶段可以追溯到公元前一世纪，但在弗拉维安时代进行了大量修复，当时多莫斯失去了它水龙头-中庭-桌布模式，并在公元三世纪初，当它通过深切凝灰岩堤垂直扩展时，获得了新的立面并重新装饰了壁画。这多莫斯Aracoeli 一定是一个地位很高的住宅，在塞维兰时代，它是由带有皇家印章的铅管供应的。虽然 Capitoline 主要被公共建筑占据，但 Arx 是一个享有盛誉的社区，而不是一种具有纪念意义的卫城。我讨论了开发和架构设计多莫斯Aracoeli 的建筑，包括其地下住宅空间以及雕塑和彩绘装饰；最后，我检查了原版的改造中庭从社会文化的角度来看房子。
