Getting Your Bearings

Here's a simple map to help you get oriented in late Republican Rome. You can see the Carinae hill to the east of the Palatine, where Sulla gave Crassus his first home (fictional).

The Palatine hill, overlooking the forum, is where Crassus eventually built his estate. The photograph (by Anne Beach) looks down from the Palatine onto the forum. You can see it is not a very tall hill. Eve Anderson gives us another angle.

Shift-clicking on any image will open it in a separate window where it can be more easily magnified.
