The Palatine Hill, a legendary site of Rome’s founding by Romulus, boasts opulent aristocratic residences and majestic temples, standing as a testament to the empire’s ancient glory. Its elevated position not only provided security and exclusivity for the elite but also reinforced the city’s strategic dominance, especially during the Third Samnite War when such advantages were paramount.
