It was enlarged when the villa became imperial property under the Emperor Commodus. The Emperor Commodus, wanting to take possession of the riches of the two brothers, as well as this luxurious villa.

In 182 made them tried for a hypothetical conspiracy and sentenced to death.

Confiscated the goods of the Quintili, including this villa, the emperor had it restored, transforming it into a real country palace.

Commodus loved to live there because of the tranquility of the countryside and the benefits of thermal baths present in the villa.

This extends from the Appia Antica and the Via Appia Nuova and is built around a large square.
