The story of Hercules and Cacus is said to have occurred on the Palatine Hill, one of the famed Seven Hills of Rome. During this class period, please examine one of those seven hills, focusing on three different periods:
1) The hill during the founding of Rome
2) The hill during the height of the Roman Empire
3) The hill today
In each case, look for important events that took place on or around the hill, as well as important buildings or other structures located on the hill. Using reliable sources (and please cite them, MLA style) type a description of the hill's history over the course of those three periods. The first class today will work alone or in pairs; all work completed should be posted to the blogs by the end of the period. The second class will continue and - hopefully - finish the work. Hill assignments are:
Palatine Hill: Makhayla, Wasnaa / Arron
Capitoline Hill: Emilie / Sarah
Aventine Hill: Nat / Sam
Caellan Hill: Taylor, Hunter / Michelle
Esquiline Hill: Jordan, Alessio / David
Viminal Hill: Nathan
Quirinal Hill: Victoria, Jacob / Robert
UPDATE: Things did not go particularly well yesterday. The second class was disheartened to find that much of the information left for them was either a - to put it kindly - minimal restating of the wikipedia intro paragraph or focused on the wrong time periods. I'm disappointed by the failure to follow instructions. Today, we'll shift to individual responsibility. Each person is now assigned one hill at one specific time period (with two exceptions - Emilie/Sarah will retain full responsibility for the Capitoline Hill and Nathan will retain responsibility for the Viminal Hall):
AT THE FOUNDING OF ROME:
Palatine Hill: Arron
Aventine Hill: Sam
Caellan Hill: Taylor
Esquiline Hill: Jordan
Quirinal Hill: Victoria
AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC/EMPIRE
Palatine Hill: Makhayla
Aventine Hill: Nat
Caellan Hill: Hunter
Esquiline Hill: Alessio
Quirinal Hill: Jacob
TODAY:
Palatine Hill: Wasnaa
Aventine Hill: Nat or Sam if they have time
Caellan Hill: Michelle
Esquiline Hill: David
Quirinal Hill: Robert
This is due - posted to your blog and proofread - by the end of class on Friday.

The History Of The Hill
POST!
The Capitoline hill is in between is found between the Forum and The Campus Martius.
The Forum is the main area where Ancient Rome developed. Some of the oldest structures very important to ancient Rome are located in the Forum. In this busy location everything from economics to social activities occurred.
The Campius Martius was a piece of Rome (about 2 square kilometers) that was not just publicly owned but in the Middle Ages was also one of the most populated places of Rome.
Capitoline has ancient ruins at ground level almost totally covered by palaces from the Medieval and Renaissance times that are currently housing the Museums of Capitoline. Also, Michelangelo designed a piazza of which they surround.
WIKIPEDIA IS HELPFUL FOR LITTLE FACTS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THIS. (: AS IS THIS WEBSITE: WWW.EASYBIB.COM FOR CITATIONS! NON YET! MOST OF WIKI IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE (GNARd. APPROVES OF THIS.) SO IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CITE THE F A C T S.
I LUH YOU SZARRAHBOO.

ReplyDeleteFor Aaron
ReplyDeleteone of the 7 hills in rome
it has some of the most ancient houses from the 10th century
on the western slope of the hill is the cave where romulus and remus where supposedly raised by the she-wolf
The Palatine Hill is preferred by all of the nobles and so that is where a majority of the palaces were built --- the palaces ended up basically covering the entire hill
Emperor August born on Palatine Hill
Tiberius, and Caligula built palaces on this hill but most of the ruins are from domitian’s hill
The Quirinal Hill is one of the seven hills at the north east of ancient Rome. In 1574 the pope Gregory XIII began to build his own palace on a peek. The Residence was called Cornell until 1870. At this time the palace became a summer home and in 1947 after Italy became a republic Gregory moved in and started to live in the palace. Later on the Galleria Borghese collection took over the palace and the Barberini family owned it. The Collis Latiaris was a group of hills that included the Quirinal Hill, These hills were lost when people started to build on
ReplyDeletetop of them in the 16th century. Tombs have been found in all 7 hills including Quirinal.

ReplyDeleteExplanation/ Height Of Rome:
ReplyDeleteThe Aventine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome. It is actually made of two peaks the first peak is close to the Tiber (River to the west) and the second is called: Minor Aventine (part of it belonging to the 12th Region of Rome) this peak is very insignificant, and is to the south. During the republic, it has always been a popular place for tourist to visit, so many tourist came that it became a more residential area. King Servius let his people build a temple of Diana (Artemis) which became a holy place of the Latins who lived in Rome and Tivoli. One of the older religious buildings on this hill is the temple of Minerva. There is also the baths of Decuis which were built by the emperor Caracalla.
There all better, sorry it was to much like the original I had to change some things...

ReplyDeleteThe Aventine hill is an important area in Rome. This hill consists of two peaks; the first peak (Mount Testaccio) is just east of the Tiber, and the second one, Minor Aventine, has several important historical sites. This hill may be named after St.. Valentine, because the first two letters are backwards and is an L is missing. When King Servius ruled over Rome he agreed to let the people build the temple of Diana (Artimus). It still stands today, and is used as a federal building for the Latin people. There are a lot of significant sites that were constructed here in the height of Rome. A very popular site in Aventine is a keyhole where you can see the gardens of the Knight of Malta and St Peter’s Basilica.
