ROME
From
Peter Peitsinis
GENERAL ABOUT ROME
• Rome is on of the most famous cities in the
world
• At the time of the Emperor Augustus , Rome was
the largest city in the world with a population of
about one million people (about the size of
London in the early 19th century, when London
was the largest city in the world).
LOCATION
• Rome is in the Lazio region of central Italy on
the Tiber river (Italian: Tevere). The original
settlement developed on hills that faced onto a
ford beside the Tiber Island, the only natural
ford of the river in this area. The Rome of the
Kings was built on seven hills: the Aventine
Hill, the Caelian Hill, the Capitoline Hill, the
Esquiline Hill, the Palatine Hill, the Quirina
Hill, and the Viminal Hill. Modern Rome is also
crossed by another river the Aniene which flows
into the Tiber north of the historic centre
SIGHT SEEINGS
•
Rome is a city famous for its numerous fountains, built in all different styles, from Classical and
Medieval, to Baroque and Neoclassical. The city has had fountains for more than two thousand
years, and they have provided drinking water and decorated the piazzas of Rome. During the
Roman Empire, in 98 AD, according to Sextus Julius Frontinus, the Roman consul who was
named curator aquarum or guardian of the water of the city, Rome had nine aqueducts which fed
39 monumental fountains and 591 public basins, not counting the water supplied to the Imperial
household, baths and owners of private villas. Each of the major fountains was connected to two
different aqueducts, in case one was shut down for service
Statues
• Rome is well known for its statues but, in
particular, the talking statues of Rome. These
are usually ancient statues which have become
popular soapboxes for political and social
discussion, and places for people to (often
satirically) voice their opinions.

Catacombs
• Rome has extensive amount of ancient catacombs, or
underground burial places under or near the city, of
which there are at least forty, some discovered only in
recent decades. Though most famous for Christian
burials, they include pagan and Jewish burials, either in
separate catacombs or mixed together. The first large-
scale catacombs were excavated from the 2nd century
onwards. Originally they were carved through tuff, a soft
volcanic rock, outside the boundaries of the city, because
Roman law forbade burial places within city limits.
Currently maintenance of the catacombs is in the hands
of the Papacy which has invested in the Salesians of Don
Bosco the supervision of the Catacombs of St. Callixtus
on the outskirts of Rome
