Yes, you read it right! Rome is composed of seven hills: Palatine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine. More than just geography, the Seven Hills on the east side of the Tiber River have played an integral role on Rome\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Rumor \u2013 and archaeological evidence \u2013 has it, the Palatine Hill is where Rome\u2019s first stones were laid. According to the legend, the city was founded by Romulus and Remus, twin brothers who were rescued by a she-wolf after being left to die as newborns at the Tiber.<\/p>\n<p>When both brothers decided to create a new city, Romulus killed Remus after a fight and consolidated the city on his own, naming it after himself. Some versions of the story say the brothers fought over where to build the new city; while Romulus would have chosen the Palatine Hill, Remus would have preferred the Aventine.<\/p>\n<h4>The Palatine Hill<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_24281\" style=\"width: 626px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24281\" class=\"wp-image-24281 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k-816x544.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/32651875720_234f0ad6f8_k.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24281\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Domus Augustana on Palatine Hill by Larry Koester &#8211; Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Legend aside, walking through the green and quiet Palatine Hill is a very relaxing and enriching experience.

So just take your time!<\/p>\n<p>For your visit to the Roman Forum, especially, wear very comfortable shoes and clothes, because the area is large and, believe me, you will lose track of time in there! During very hot and sunny days, I also advise you to wear a hat or bring a small umbrella with you. The Roman Forum is not as green as the Palatine Hill, and therefore is very exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n<h3>Visit the Capitoline Wolf<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_24293\" style=\"width: 626px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24293\" class=\"wp-image-24293 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k-816x530.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/25675694254_8aa9529267_k.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Capitoline Wolf by Andy Montgomery &#8211; Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Capitoline Wolf is the most famous sculpture symbolizing the legend of the founding of Rome. Although the bronze sculpture is not ancient (the she-wolf was made during the 11th or 12th century and the twins during the 15th century), putting a face to the name, as we say, and watching the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus is very exciting!<\/p>\n<p>According to the legend, Romulus and Remus were twin brothers, sons of princess Rhea Silvia, the daughter of Alba Longa\u2019s King Numitor. When Numitor was overthrown by his younger brother Amulius, the usurper killed his son and forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin, a priestess to the goddess Vesta, to whom celibacy was imposed.<\/p>\n<p>Amulius\u2019s plan was to leave Numitor\u2019s line with no heirs, but things didn\u2019t go as he imagined. Rhea Silvia got pregnant, allegedly from Mars, the god of war, and gave birth to the two boys. Fearing that they would grow and claim back the throne, Amulius ordered a servant to kill them. They were left inside of a basket in the Tiber River and floated down the current until a she-wolf that had just lost her cubs found and suckled them. Romulus and Remus were later found by a shepherd named Faustulus, who raised them with his wife Acca Larentia.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24295\" style=\"width: 409px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/romulus_and_remus_discovered_by_the_herdsman_faustulus_by_arnold_houbraken_rijksdienst_voor_het_cultureel_erfgoed_b616.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24295\" class=\"wp-image-24295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/romulus_and_remus_discovered_by_the_herdsman_faustulus_by_arnold_houbraken_rijksdienst_voor_het_cultureel_erfgoed_b616.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/romulus_and_remus_discovered_by_the_herdsman_faustulus_by_arnold_houbraken_rijksdienst_voor_het_cultureel_erfgoed_b616.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/romulus_and_remus_discovered_by_the_herdsman_faustulus_by_arnold_houbraken_rijksdienst_voor_het_cultureel_erfgoed_b616-249x300.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24295\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Romulus and Remus discovered by Faustulus by Arnold Houbraken &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When the twins grew older, they became shepherds like their adoptive father. One day, some shepherds of King Amulius picked a fight with Remus and brought him before the king. Romulus rescued his brother with the help of other shepherds and King Amulius was killed, which brought King Numitor back to power.<\/p>\n<p>Romulus and Remus then decided to build a city of their own. After a fight over where to build the city and over who had the support of the gods, Romulus killed Remus and established the city at the top of the Palatine Hill, which he named Rome after himself and allegedly ruled as its first king from 753 BC to 716 BC.<\/p>\n<p>The Capitoline Wolf sculpture, symbol of it all, can be visited at the Capitoline Museums, at the Piazza del Campidoglio.<\/p>\n<h6>The museums open at 9:30 and close at 19:30.
