Capitoline Hill
The
Capitoline Hill (
Collis Capitolinus) is one of the famous
seven hills of
Rome, the site of a temple for the Capitoline Triad: the gods
Jupiter, his wife

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, and is considered one of the largest and the most beautiful temples in the city.
The English word capitol derives from Capitoline Hill.
