Rome is defined by the river Tiber and the seven hills on which it is built. The Tiber flows through Rome before entering the Tyrrhenian Sea, and was named the Tiber after the emperor Tiberius, who drowned in it. It is 405kms long and 20m deep at its greatest depth.

The Capitoline is the smallest, but best-known of the seven hills of ancient Rome. The hill was dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, and was the historic and religious centre of the city. The temple of Jupiter is located on the southwest end, and the temple of Juno is on the height known as the Arx. Between these is an area called the Asylum; it is said that this is where Romulus, the founder of Rome, took in refugees from nearby towns.

Cicero and Catullus both lived on the Palatine hill; Emperor Augustus was born there and lived there as well. The best preserved buildings are the House of Augustus and the House of Livia. Several other emperors also built palaces on the hill.

The Aventine is a mostly residential hill. The Circus Maximus stands between the Aventine and the Palatine, and is said to be one of the most peaceful areas in Rome. The Esquiline is the largest of the seven hills. The baths of Titus and Trajan were located here, as well as the Golden House of Nero.

The Quirinal used to be the most residential of the seven hills. On the east end of the hill were the baths of Diocletian. The Viminal is a smaller ridge between the Quirinal and Esquiline. Finally, the Caelian is the southernmost of the four large hills.
