Domus
Augustana, on the side towards the Circus Maximus. In the centre of the platform of

Peltis, the peltis being a small wicker shield.

of the Palatine. During the Empire, one used to call by that name, in Rome,
the special schools where a director (pædagogus), trained young slaves to serve
in noble houses. Naturally this one was the most important since it served
the Palatine and hence the Emperor.
