The Villa Of C. PISO.
THis stood under the mountain near the hot fountains: hither Nero, (leaving the other charges of importance) often retired for his solace, as Tacitus declares in the 15th. book of his Annals. Tis supposed that in this Villa, Nero entertained his mother Agrippina at table many hours under pretence of the festival Quinquatrus: a feast celebrated to Pallas five daies, but with intention to make her return by night to her Villa at Bauli, having before hand given order that in the return, the Bark (wherein she was) should be sunk, and she thereby be drowned, as Suetonius and Tacitus relate.
