The 7 Hills of Rome

  • Palatine Mons Palatinus
  • Capitoline Mons Capitolinus
  • Quirinal Mons Quirinalis
  • Viminal Mons Viminalis
  • Esquiline Mons Esquilinus
  • Caelian Mons Caelius
  • Aventine Mons Aventinus

Mary Beard, classicist and columnist for the UK Times, lists the following 10 hills of Rome: the Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Janiculan, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, Pincian, and Vatican. She says it is not obvious which should be counted as the 7 hills of Rome. My list is a standard one, but she does, or course, have a point.
