	Janiculum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Janiculum was a center for the cult of the god Janus, and the fact that it overlooked the city made it a good place for augurs to observe the auspices.
		The Janiculum also houses a baroque fountain built by Pope Paul V in the late-seventeenth century, the Acqua Paola, and several foreign research institutions, including the American Academy in Rome and the Academia de España.
		The Janiculum is the site of a battle in 1849 between the forces of Garibaldi and French forces fighting on behalf of the Pope, who sought to restore the dominion of Papal States over Rome.

	Janiculum
		While the tallest hill in the contemporary city of Rome, the Janiculum does not figure among the proverbial seven hills of Rome, being west of the Tiber and outside the boundaries of the ancient city.
		Anciently, the Janiculum was a center for the cult of the god Janus; it was also known in Roman times as the Mons Vaticanus; the fact that it overlooked the city made it a good place for augurs to go and observe the auspices.
		In history, the Janiculum was the site of a battle in 1849 between the forces of Garibaldi and French forces fighting on behalf of the Pope, who sought to restore him to the throne of the Papal States.

	Gianicolo G13 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Janiculum is not counted as one of the Seven Hills of Rome and was nicknamed the "8th hill".
		Numa Pompilius, the Sabine successor of Romulus, was buried on the Janiculum, and Ancus Marcius, the 4th king of Rome, is said to have built the Pons Sublicius over the Tiber to connect the Janiculum with the city of Rome.
		During its history hill was occupied by monasteries, churches and villas, but the increasing of the population on the hill was always limited, even when Paul V built the aqueduct.

	Rome, the Janiculum Quarter - Monteverde Vecchio, il Gianicolo
		According to 18th century diarist De Brosses, a French admirer of all things Italian, it was sufficient in itself to justify the journey to Italy.
		Seen from the Janiculum, Rome displays the iridescent colours of her incredible plumage like a peacock: a living postcard, all the roofs, the cupolas, all the bell towers and the sights are sharply defined in the clear sky, with the profile of the Roman Castle hills in the background.
		The Gianicolo being “Garibaldi's hill” – it was he who led the fierce battle against the French sent to restore Papal rule in 1849 –; an imposing equestrian statue of the bearded freedom fighter looms over the pine-tree lined gardens.

	JaniculumMills
		At the invitation of the American Academy in Rome, and with the kind permission of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma, a 5-week excavation season was undertaken in June and July 1998 to investigate the Aqua Traiana and a large Roman water-mill complex in the Academy's parking lot, on the Janiculum Hill in Rome.
		It was clear from these investigations that the complex consisted of several mill-wheels installed in two mill-races parallel to the main channel of the Aqua Traiana, and that the complex extended below the Academy's car park, but the size of the complex was unknown.
		Because of the comparative rarity of known archaeological remains of multiple water-mill installations, and the evident importance of the mills on the Janiculum in antiquity, attested by literary and epigraphic references (CIL VI.1711; Regionary Catalogues; Prudentius, Contra Symmachum II.948-50; Procopius Wars V.xix.8-9), further investigation was desirable.

	"Rome O Morte" The Siege of Rome - 1849
		However, the citizens and soldiers of Rome had been busy rapidly constructing defenses atop the Janiculum Wall, a 17th century battlement that guards northern Rome from the Porta Portese on the Tiber to the walls of the Vatican Palace.
		Outside the walls, Garibaldi, who commanded the defense of the Janiculum quarter, had placed garrisons at the Villa Pamphili, Villa Corsini, and Villa Vascello: three key positions that commanded the approach to the St. Pancras Gate.
		With the failure on 3 June of the Italians to retake the Villas, the outcome of the siege was decided.
