<p>The Palatine is one of the seven hills on which Rome stands, the hill from which the history of the Eternal City began. According to a well-known legend, it was on the Palatine Hill that the she-wolf suckled the brothers Romulus and Remus, and then after a quarrel between the brothers, Remus was killed. The city of Rome began on the Palatine.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, modern archaeological finds, according to which the very first settlements of Rome appeared on the Palatine Hill, confirm the legend.<br />
<br />
The name Palatium is associated with the name of the goddess Pales, the guardian of cattle. Apparently, the Palatine Hill originally served as a pasture for cattle, and when the Italians developed their first religious ideas and the cult of the goddess Pales arose, the Palatine became the religious center of the shepherds who made sacrifices here. There were pagan &quot;shrines&quot; here - the sacred cave of the she-wolf with a spring and a fig tree, under which the basket with the twin babies was found, the altar of Pan, the house of Romulus, etc.<br />

During the times of the republic, the patricians lived on the Palatine, and the emperors did not ignore this place: Augustus had a house on the Palatine, the Flavii built a whole complex of magnificent buildings here - Domus Flavia. After the barbarian invasion, the Palatine turned into a scorched desert and until the beginning of the 17th century it was empty, the ruins of majestic palaces were overgrown with grass and ivy.</p>
