		Tacitus records that there were twelve Imperial villas in Capri (or 'Capreae', as it was spelled in Latin).
		Suetonius reports that when the foundations for the villa were being excavated, giant bones and 'weapons of stone' were discovered, which Octavian Augustus ordered to be displayed in the garden of his main residence, the Sea Palace, one of the first displays of fossils.
		Augustus' successor Tiberius also built a series of villas at Capri, the most famous of which is the 'Villa Jovis' one of the best preserved Roman villas in Italy.

		It is about 4:30 in the morning on an ordinary working day, but as yet the town lies quiet under the blanket of night.
		Shadowy figures slip through the empty streets and make their way singly or in pairs to the back door of a large villa, the house of a wealthy Christian lady.
		People arriving at the back door are quickly recognized, admitted and led through to a large family room where there are others already gathered.
