Introduction

Palatine Hill is the birthplace of Rome, inhabited by people around 1000 BC. It is located in the center of Rome's seven hills and is one of the oldest preserved areas in modern Rome. Palatine Hill is situated on higher ground, overlooking the ancient Roman Forum on one side and a large arena on the other. Nobles vied to build houses here and successive Roman emperors constructed luxurious palaces. However, Palatine Hill gradually fell into neglect after Rome's decline. Today, the hill is mostly dominated by the remains of Domitian's palace. This palace had a complex structure and covered a vast area. It was used as the primary imperial palace for 300 years.
