In the early 2nd century the Emperor Hadrian decided to build a villa at Tibur,; he wanted a retreat away from his Palatine Palace (which he did not like at all) and the noisy crowd that daily swarmed the streets of Rome.
The villa was a complex of more than 30 buildings, entirely modelled on Greek and Egyptian architecture.

The villa was also the home of such important woks of art as the famous Discobolus and Young Centaur which were both unearthed during excavations in the 18th century.
