The Caelian Hill (Latin: Collis Caelius, Italian: Celio) is one of the seven hills of Rome. During the Renaissance, it was located in the Antico District.

History[]

According to a tradition recounted by Titus Livy, the hill received its name from Caelius Vibenna, either because he established a settlement there or because his friend Servius Tullius wished to honor him after his death. In Republican-era Rome, the Caelian Hill was a fashionable residential district and the site of residences of the wealthy.[1] Archaeological work under the Baths of Caracalla have uncovered the remains of lavish villas complete with murals and mosaics. The Caelian is also the site of the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and the ancient basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo, known for its centralized, circular plan.[2]

During the Renaissance of early 16th century, the Crows prepare a large weapons shipment that intercepted by the Assassins. The weapons were delivered in the hill, near the Colosseum of the Borgia camp. Lo Sparviero was tasked by Niccolò Machiavelli to track down the weapons. He using the Eagle Vision found a crate that was an Assassin insignia marked by the Assassin scouts. The crate was empty, so he found another crate was full of strange blades. With this, he started to track down someone behind all of it.[3]
