History
Villas were first constructed along the River Anio from the 3rd Century CE. A villa was constructed by the future Latin Emperor Constantine V Claudius in the late 6th century as a county estate away from the capital where the Claudia family was granted land. Little, if anything, remains from the first construction of Emperor Constantine V, though the land was constantly improved upon with a citadel first being constructed in the 8th century. The large outer walls, which still stand to this day, were first constructed during this period and improved upon leading up to the Claudii Civil War in the 10th century where the estate was used as a rallying point for the forces of the future emperor Constantine XIII Claudius. Supranio first began to take its current form in the 17th century and the construction of the Golden Palace to replace the aging Castra Constantini.
