What are the names of the seven hills of Rome ?
The Seven Hills of Rome are the hills upon which the city of Rome tradition tells us that Romulus founded Rome. These Hills are the following: Aventine (Mons Aventinus), Caelian (Mons Caelius), Capitoline (Mons Capitolinus), Esquiline (Mons Esquilinus), Palatine (Mons Palatinus), Quirinal (Mons Quirinalis), Viminal (Mons Viminalis) How long did the Roman empire last for ? This question can’t be answered easily. For the definitions of ‘Roman empire’ can vary. Generally speaking Rome began in about 625 BC. Although the Romans believed their city dated back to 753 BC. But in the beginning it was only a town, hardly an empire. They controlled Italy by about 260 BC. This could be argued as being a small empire. Yet others would say it was far from it. Only by the end of its first war against Carthage did Rome actually possess any provinces (Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily) – 241 BC. The earliest point at which everyone would agree on the Romans possessing an empire would be after their victory
