  • Talked to my hotel receptionist about where Julius Caesar was born. Looking at a map of the 7 hills of Rome we found the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburra">Suburra</a> district (The english word Suburbs is derived from Subura) between the Capitoline and the Esquiline Hills. width:360;;height:343
  • On this modern day map my receptionist sketched where the Suburra is located. Caesar was born here and grew up in this popular neighborhood, close to the real slums of the Subura near the Esquiline hill. width:640;;height:480
  • Historian Peter Oersted thinks that Caesars house in the Subura was here (Map from 200 A.D.) The Argiletum is todays Via Cavour. Close to the Porta Esquilina with the worst slums of Rome. Sure Caesar was part of the <i>nobiles</i>, but he lived near the Populus Romanus. width:627;;height:480
