 Mons Cispius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Cispius-toppen er idag det sted, hvor kirken Santa Maria Maggiore ligger på Piazza del Esquilino og højen strakte sig omtrent ned til Via in Selci i syd, hvor den gik over i Colle Oppio og til Via di Santa Maria Maggiore mod nord, hvor den mødte Viminal-højen.
Navnet stammer fra hærlederen Levius Cispius, som sammen med Oppius Tusculanus forsvarede Rom, mens Kong Tullus Hostilius var optaget af angrebet på Veji (7.århundrede før Kristus).
Mens Colle Oppio var grøn og sparsomt bebygget med smukke templer og paladser beboet af rige romere og senere kejserne, var Mons Cispius mere bebygget og beboet af romerske småhandlende og håndværkere og her stod en statue af Apollon iført sandaler, som beskytter af den nedenforliggende folkelige Vicus Sandalarius.

 The Subura   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In the valley which lay between the fora and the Quirinal was the celebrated Subura [sometimes written Suburra]-- the quarter of shops, markets, and artificers,--a busy, noisy, vulgar section, not beautiful, but full of life and enterprise and wickedness.
