There are some inaccuracies in this article. For example, the villa on Capri was built by Tiberius, not Augustus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Jovis

Augustus also had a villa on Capri.

Tiberius built Villa Jovis. I believe Augustus ruled from Capri, but I don’t remember him having had a villa. (He did acquire it from Napoli, in exchange for Ischia.)

Do you have a source? Would love to visit the ruins.

The article didn't mention Villa Jovis. Augustus also established various buildings there. For instance Villa/Palazzo a Mare:
