The Seven Hills of early Rome were the Cermalus, Cispius, Fagutal, Oppius, Palatium, Sucusa, and Velia, figuring prominently into Roman mythology, religion, and politics; the original city was held by tradition to have been founded by Romulus on the Palatine Hill (Collis Palatinus). The other six are now the Aventine (Collis Aventinus), the Capitoline (Capitolinus), the Quirinal (Quirinalis), the Viminal (Viminalis), the Esquiline (Esquilinus), and the Caelian (Caelius).
Initially and traditionally, the seven hills were occupied by small settlements and not grouped or recognized as a city called "Rome". The denizens of the seven hills began to participate in a series of religious games which started to bond the groups together. The city of Rome thus came into being as these separate settlements acted as a group, draining the marshy valleys between them and turning them into markets and fora.
The now-famous Vatican Hill (Latin Collis Vaticanus) is northwest of the Tiber and is not one of the Seven Hills of Rome. Likewise, the Pincian Hill (Latin Mons Pincius), to the north, and the Janiculum Hill (Latin Ianiculum), to the west, are not counted among the traditional Seven Hills.
Of the Seven Hills of current Rome, five (Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal, and Viminal hills) are populated with monuments, buildings and parks; the Capitoline now hosts the Municipality of Rome; and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area.

The words of their unique state could be in latin & you will possibly desire to in all probability be certain what they recommend from how the words initiate, Quirinal probably has some thing to do with the huge form 5. while the Romans started out settling in that section they have been ruled by the Etruscans for centuries. they around 550BC based the contract as Rome, (Romulus replaced into the alleged God determine whom it replaced into named after). Tarquin replaced into overthrown by the Romans & interior quite a few hundred years they thoroughly took over all the peninsula & coveted all the different lands surrounding the Med. & then onto Gaul, Germania, etc.
