Capitoline Wolf The Capitoline Wolf (Italian: ""Lupa Capitolina"") is a bronze sculpture depicting a scene from the legend of the founding of Rome. The sculpture shows a she-wolf suckling the mythical twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. According to the legend, when Numitor, grandfather of the twins, was overthrown by his brother Amulius, the usurper ordered them to be cast into the Tiber River. They were rescued by a she-wolf who cared for them until a herdsman, Faustulus, found and raised them."
"Palatine Hill The Palatine Hill (; ; ) is the centremost of the Seven Hills of Rome and is one of the most ancient parts of the city. It stands 40 metres above the Roman Forum, looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other. From the time of Augustus Imperial palaces were built here. The hill is the etymological origin of the word ""palace"" and its cognates in other languages (, , Spanish: ""palacio,"" Portuguese: ""palácio,"" , , etc.). The term ""palace"", from Old French ""palais"" or ""paleis"", stems ultimately from the proper"

The Quirinal Palace has an extension of 1.2 million square feet. It was originally part of a group of hills that included ""Collis Latiaris"", ""Mucialis"" (or ""Sanqualis""), ""Salutaris"".

This route was that taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph. This route started at the Campus Martius, led through the Circus Maximus, and around the Palatine Hill; immediately after the Arch of Constantine, the procession would turn left at the Meta Sudans and march along the ""Via sacra"" to the Forum Romanum and on to the Capitoline Hill, passing through both the Arches of Titus and Septimius Severus."

The Palatine Hill was also the site of the ancient festival of the Lupercalia. Many affluent Romans of the Republican period (c.509 BC – 44 BC) had their residences there. From the start of the Empire (27 BC) Augustus built his palace there and the hill gradually became the exclusive domain of emperors; the ruins of the palaces of at least Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD), Tiberius (14 – 37 AD) and Domitian (81 – 96 AD) can"

One view is that the Hill was named after the abundance of Italian oaks, ""aesculi"", that resided there. Another view is that, during Rome's infancy, the Capitolium, the Palatinum, and the northern fringes of the Caelian were the most-populated areas of the city, whose inhabitants were considered ""inquilini"", ""in-towners""; those who inhabited the external regions – Aurelian, Oppius, Cispius, Fagutal – were considered ""exquilini"", ""suburbanites""."
