From the AW blog center, more news on rotating buildings of Italy...
Ancient Rome, David Rockwell style - Nero's rotating dining hall found?
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/blogs/link.php?id=45033
"The supposed smoking guns of the recent discovery on the Palatine hill include a 50 foot diameter room, resting on a 13 foot in diameter pillar, with a rotating mechanism underneath - "four spherical mechanisms likely powered by a constant flow of water that would have rotated the structure."
