The term Domus Flavia is a modern name for the northwestern section of the Palace where the bulk of the large "public" rooms for official business, entertaining and ceremony are concentrated.[3] Domitian was the last of the Flavian dynasty, but the palace continued to be used by emperors with small modifications until the end of the empire.
It is connected to the domestic wing to the southeast, the Domus Augustana, a name which in antiquity may have applied to the whole of the palace.[4]
