The original settlement was built on one of the seven hills of Rome. As everyone knows, Rome has many ancient monuments and a spectacular history. Much of western civilisation is based on the Roman way of doing things. All over the Roman Empire, we can see the skill of Roman engineers and Rome is no exception.
