The Capitoline Hill

• via delle Botteghe Oscure, 00187 Roma

The Capitoline Hill (Latin: Mons Capitolinus, Italian: Campidoglio or Monte Capitolino), between the Forum and the Campus Martius, is one of the most famous and smallest of the seven hills of Rome. The English word capitol derives from Capitoline Hill.
It was the site of a temple for the Capitoline Triad, started by Rome's fifth king, Tarquinius Priscus. It was considered one of the largest and the most beautiful temples in the city (although little now remains) and was probably founded on an earlier, Etruscan temple of Veiovis, whose remains and cult statue still survive. The role of the Capitoline Hill in city legend is linked with the recovery during the Regal period of a human head (the word for head in Latin is caput) when the foundation trenches were being dug for the Temple of Jupiter.
