The word Palātium came to mean the residence of the emperor rather than the neighbourhood on top of the hill. His descendants, especially Nero with his " Domus Aurea" (the Golden House), enlarged the building and its grounds over and over until it took up the hill top. Emperor Caesar Augustus lived there in a purposely modest house only set apart from his neighbours by the two laurel trees planted to flank the front door as a sign of triumph granted by the Senate. Long after the city grew to the seven hills the Palatine remained a desirable residential area. The original "palaces" on the Palatine Hill were the seat of the imperial power while the "capitol" on the Capitoline Hill was the religious nucleus of Rome.
