Viminal Hill-Nathan

The Viminal hill is the smallest of all 7 famous Roman hills and is clear that is treated as the least important. It was also one of the last hills to be included in the walls of Rome.

Constructed 144 and 140 BC: Aqua Marcia was built. This proved clean water that contributed to the military victory against Carthage.

Over the course of a ten year period, the Baths of Diocletian were built on the north eastern portion of the hill and they were the largest in Rome. They ranged to over 1 million square feet. These baths could accommodate over 2,000 bathers.

All though Viminal was the smallest hill in Rome, there were still tons of working people and they left there stories of their life taking place in about 80 BC.
