| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Seven Hills of Rome east of the river Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome, within the walls of the ancient city. The original city was held by tradition to have been founded by Romulus on the Palatine Hill. Of the seven hills of current Rome, five (Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal and Viminal hills) are populated with monuments, buildings, and parks. The Capitoline now hosts Rome's city hall, and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area. The book studies each of these hills, their history, and their socio-cultural significance in current Rome.
