During the time of Augustus, the House of the Vestals was expanded to include the Domus publica, which had previously been inhabited by the Pontifex Maximus. After the fire in Rome in 64 AD, the building that can be seen today was destroyed, and was renovated and rebuilt several times during the imperial period under Trajan and Septimius Severus. Under the Christian Emperor Theodosius I, the House of the Vestals was abandoned in 394.
