The hill on which Rome was founded was called .?

Answer 1

Palatine

Answer 2

Archaeological research has shown that Rome's urban development very probably started on the Palatine hill. But it also shows that Rome started out as a collection of villages on various other hilltops in the vicinity of the river Tiber. The legend of the foundation of Rome said that Romulus founded Rome on the Palatine Hill. Recent archaeological evidence supports this. Remains of a monumental gate of a sacred wall which Romulus was said to have built around this hill have been discovered. However, this was only the first step in the creation of the Roman city-state, which involved a process of coaelscence between settlements on various crests of what were to become the seven hills of Rome (the Palatine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian and Aventine) which were unified under the rule of a king. This also involved the fusion between Latins who lived on five of the hills and Sabines who lived on the Quirinal and Viminal.

Answer 3

The city of Rome was originally on the Seven hill of Rome (the Capitoline, the Palatine, the Caelian, the Esquiline, the Viminal and the Quirinal). It was not built on these hills because the foundation of Rome did not involve the building of a new city. It involved the unification of the separate settlements on these hills into a single state under Romulus, the founder of the Roman state and its first king. Therefore, Rome developed on the Seven Hills of Rome. When Rome became a massive city at the height of the Roman Empire, it extended beyond the seven hills.

Answer 4

Rome was not actually built on hills and was not built at all. The foundation of Rome does not refer to the building of a new city by settlers. It refers to the unification of separate and independent settlements on what where to become the Seven Hills of Rome into a single city-state under the rule of a king which came to be called Rome. The settlements had been there long before the foundation of the Roman city-state. t

The settlements had been developed on hills because in those days people liked to live on hills. They were easier to defend from raids.
