| Rome first became a city on
the Palatine Hill on 753 B.C. It later became a place where palaces were
built by the many emperors and the rich lived. On the Palatine hill, you
will find mostly ruins of palaces and homes of the rich. The Circus Maximus was
located next to the Palatine Hill.
Right: The picture was taken on top of the Palatine hill. The white building is the Palatine hill museum and to the left is a ruin of a palace (probably Domitian's palace) |
