Colossus of Nero
The Colossus of Nero (''Colossus Neronis'') was a bronze statue that the Emperor Nero (37–68 AD) created in the vestibule of his Domus Aurea, the imperial villa complex which spanned a large area from the north side of the Palatine Hill, across the Velian ridge to the Esquiline Hill. It was modified by Nero's successors into a statue of the sun god Sol. It is last mentioned in the 4th century AD. The statue was eventually moved to a spot outside the Flavian Amphitheatre, which (according to one of the more popular theories) became known, by its proximity to the Colossus, as the Colosseum.

According to Pliny the Elder, the statue reached 106.5 Roman Feet () in height, though other sources claim it was as much as .〔Mentioned in Suetonius, "Nero" 31; Pliny's Natural History XXXIV.45.〕
