Seven Hills of Rome

• Romulus and Remus founded Rome on the Palatine Hill on 21st April 753 BCE.
• As the communities on the other hills grew together, they became the Seven Hills of Rome. The Hills are all to the east of the Tiber. The Servian Wall was built to encircle all seven hills in c.390 BCE,
