Palatine Hill
Lost and Buried CityDescription
Palatine Hill is a lost and buried city in Italy, Europe.
The Palatine Hill preserves the remains of imperial palaces above the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus. Successive residences, gardens and monumental halls transformed the hill into an architectural expression of imperial power. The timeline reference is the beginning of the imperial palace tradition under Augustus, whose rule ran from 27 BCE to 14 CE. Settlement on the hill is much older, and later emperors substantially extended the palatial buildings.
