Rome is built on seven hills. Our hotel was on the side of the Palatine Hill which is where Romulus and Remus were nurtured by the she-wolf. It is also where the Roman emperors built their palaces. Here are the ruins of the palaces. The long oval field in front is the Circus Maximus where chariot races were held to entertain the citizens. It is also where Christians were fed to the lions. Joggers now workout on the chariot paths.
