villa of livia's garden room fresco, from palazzo massimo

known as ad gallinas albas (of the white hen) because of pliny the elder's tale in his naturalis historia, recounting the myth of livia, newly bethroted to octavian augustus, having a white hen holding a laurel branch in its beak dropped into her lap by an eagle, interpreted as an omen of good fortune.

First time visiting the Getty Villa yesterday was pretty cool.

“Same.”-my fiancee seeing this figure:

They also had a temporary Egyptian exhibit! There until 2027.

Overall great way to kick off my spring break/birthday season!

A Corner of the Villa by Edward Poynter

Some pictures of the visual reconstruction of the Villa of Livia, known in Antiquity as Villa Ad Gallinas Albas (the Villa of White Chickens). It belonged to Augustus' wife Livia Drusilla. According to the story, the eagle once dropped a hen holding a laurel branch in its beak into Livia's lap. At the advice of the soothsayer, the branch was planted, creating a laurel tree garden at the premises while the white hens roamed around to secure the good fortune of her family. Whenever a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty celebrated a Triumph, their laurel wreaths were made from these trees.

The famous statue of Augustus of Prima Porta and wall frescos of a garden are from this villa.
