The Aventine Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome, Italy. It has two distinct heights: one greater to the northwest (Aventinus Major) and one lesser to the southeast (Aventinus Minor), which are divided by a steep cleft that creates an ancient roadway between the two. Throughout its history, it had been associated with Latins and plebeians as a much-beloved public area in Rome. In Roman mythology, this was the site of the infamous cave of Cacus, slain by Hercules for stealing Geryon's cattle. Furthermore, it is said that Remus set up his augural tent on the Aventino, while Romulus set his up on the Palatine. Later, during the imperial era, the hill became the private residence of some notable people, such as Trajan, Hadrian, Pope Sixtus III, and many others. Finally, in the twentieth century, the hill saw the "Aventine Secession" when several members of the opposition withdrew from Parliament. Overall, the Aventine remains an important landmark of Roman culture and heritage.
