Gardens of Maecenas[edit] The gardens became imperial property after Maecenas's death, and Tiberius lived there after his return to Rome in 2 AD.[15] Nero connected them with the Palatine Hill via his Domus Transitoria,[16] and viewed the burning of that from the turris Maecenatiana.[17] This turris was probably the "molem propinquam nubibus arduis" ("the pile, among the clouds") mentioned by Horace.[18]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5082.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5082.txt
