Everything about Caelian totally explained
The
Caelian Hill (Latin
Mons Caelius, Italian
Celio) is one of the famous
Seven Hills of
Rome. Under reign of
Tullus Hostilius, the entire population of
Alba Longa was forcibly resettled on the Caelian Hill. According to a tradition recounted by
Titus Livy, the hill received its name from
Caelius Vibenna, either because he established a settlement there or because his friend
Servius Tullius wished to honor him after his death.
In Republican-era Rome the Caelian Hill was a fashionable residential district and the site of residences of the wealthy. Archeological work under the Baths of Caracalla have uncovered the remains of lavish villas complete with murals and mosaics. The Caelian is also the site of Basilica of
Santi Giovanni e Paolo (Rome) and the ancient basilica of
Santo Stefano Rotondo, known for its centralized, circular plan.
