	Capitoline Hill
		In Rome, both ancient and modern, a confusion factor is added by using the word "hill" to describe both the ridges and isolated hills: the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquinal, and Caelian are actually ridges, and the Aventine, Palatine, and Capitoline are "loose end" hills.

		The early Romans, seeking to increase their population and the size of their fighting force, advertised that fugitives (essentially, the male criminal element from other towns) would be welcome to settle and serve a probationary (and perhaps quarantine) period in the Asylum.
