Rome accommodations

Rome accommodations invite you to a destination nicknamed “The Eternal City”. Known for its iconic and ancient structures, archaeological sites, museums, galleries, churches, shrines, tombs, squares, parks, fountains, bridges, villas and Catholicism, Rome is located in Central-Eastern Italy on the “shin” of lo Stivale (the Boot). Rome’s Italian name is “Roma”. Close to the Tyrrhenian Sea, Rome is about 120 miles northward of fellow-coastal city, Naples. Although Rome is not known for its beaches, several do exist just west of the city. Flowing through central Rome, the Tiber River separates the city into distinct districts (rioni). Rome’s ring road, Grande Raccordo Anulare (Autostrada A90) encircles the city for 42.4 miles.

Fierce rivals, Rome’s professional football clubs are A.S. Roma and S.S. Lazio (each play at aforementioned Stadio Olimpico – northwest side). The Lazio / Roma rivalry is known as Derby della Capitale. In Rome, keep in mind that tourist places such as Trevi Fountain can get crowded, so it might be best to visit first-thing in the morning. August is not the best time to visit the city, as many Italians / establishments go on “holiday”, or vacation. When walking down / across streets, be mindful of vehicles, of course cars and also scooters. Although Rome generally is considered safe, be mindful of potential scammers (bracelet scam) and pick-pocketers. Rome’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the legal drinking age is 18 years old. Rome accommodations are some of Italy’s best. Before we get to Rome accommodations, let’s take a look at some background information on the area to help you along the way.

Ancient Roman myth attributes the name “Roma” to the city’s founder and first king, Romulus. Archaeological evidence (stone tools, stone weapons, pottery) of human settlement in the Rome area dates back about 10,000 years, when several pastoral hilltop villages existed between the sea and the Capitoline Hill. Onward from Romulus, Rome’s first rulers were of Latin, Sabine and Etruscan origins, respectively. This initial monarchy lasted 244 years, as the Romans expelled the last king in 509 BC. From there, an oligarchic republic, led by two annually elected consuls, was established. Thereafter, conflict ensued between patricians (aristocrats) and plebeians (small landowners), as well as with central Italy populations. The Roman Empire would develop out of Latium, the central-western Italy region in which Rome was founded. Fought between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian Empire, the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) resulted in a Roman victory and conquest of all Carthaginian territories except for Numidia (modern day Algeria, Tunisia and Libya). Around the 2nd century BC, two groups of aristocrats, the optimates (Senate conservatives) and the populares (plebian), jockeyed for power. Small farmers went bankrupt, large slave estates sprung up and subsequent warfare led to the establishment of a professional army. The populares Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus failed to implement social reform and civil war ensued, from which Roman general and statesman Sulla arose victorious. Subsequently, slave leader Spartacus led an uprising against the Roman Republic. These prolonged tensions, along with the Spartacus uprising, led to the establishment of the first Triumvirate (informal political alliance) of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus. Caesar gained popularity through his conquest of Gaul. Not long after Caesar declared himself dictator perpetuo, or “dictator in perpetuity”, he was assassinated on March 15, 44 BC. A second Triumvirate then was established (Octavian – Caesar’s grandnephew and heir, Mark Antony and Lepidus). A decisive civil war, the War of Actium (32–30 BC), between Octavian (Western Roman provinces) and Antony (Eastern Roman provinces / Ptolemaic Egypt) saw Octavian arise victorious, and Rome annex Egypt. Octavian was named Augustus (Roman emperor) and princeps (first in order) in 27 BC. At this time, an imperial government known as the principate formed. Proceeding Octavian were the rulers Tiberius (14-37 AD), Caligula (37-41 AD), Claudius (41-54 AD) and Nero (54-68 AD). Caligula and Nero both proved to be sadistic tyrants, while Claudius was considered vulnerable. During Tiberius’ reign, Jesus Christ was crucified in Jerusalem. Under Nero, the Great Fire of Rome destroyed two-thirds of the city, and Christians were persecuted. Funded by spoils taken after the First Jewish–Roman War, the Colosseum began construction In 70 AD. Under Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD), the Roman Empire expanded to its farthest reaches, and Rome was reaffirmed as caput Mundi, or capital of the known world. The Crisis of the Third Century occurred in 235 AD, when several generals fought for power. Diocletian rose to power in 284 AD and introduced Dominate while imposing price controls. In 286, Diocletian divided the empire, which would form the basis of the Eastern and Western Empires. In 306 AD, Constantine I, or Constantine the Great, rose to power. The first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine granted freedom of worship to everyone including Christians, and restored previously confiscated church properties. Constantine I also created regional dioceses. Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and the Vandals in 455. Weak fifth century emperors led to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in September 476, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages. The city’s population having declined relatively drastically by the year 500, large parts of Rome became abandoned. In 455, Rome’s population had reached around 800,000. Between 493 and 553, Italy was controlled by the Ostrogothic Kingdom, a barbarian kingdom established by Germanic Ostrogoths. Following a 537 AD Gothic siege, Rome’s population had fallen to around 30,000. The Gothic War (535–554) between the Byzantine Empire and the Ostrogothic Kingdom resulted in a Byzantine victory, with the Eastern Roman Empire taking back the Italian peninsula and Sicily, along with Dalmatia. The Lombards, a Germanic people, in turn conquered most of the Italian Peninsula between 568 and 774. Lombard king Liutprand donated the north Latium town of Sutri to the Church in 729. The Pope was given temporal jurisdiction over the Duchy of Rome and the Exarchate of Ravenna by Frankish King Pepin the Short following Pepin’s defeat of the Lombards in 756. From there, the Papal States were created. During the Middle Ages, three parties jockeyed for control of Rome: theocratic (Pope), republican (nobility alongside Senate / populace) and imperial (Frankish king). Pope Leo III, in Rome, crowned Frankish King Charlemagne as Emperor on Christmas night, 800 AD, which marked the beginning of the Carolingian Empire. In May, 1083, Rome was sacked by the Normans. During the 12th century, an autonomous senatore / patrizio administration evolved into a Medieval commune controlled by wealthy classes. The commune was opposed by Popes Lucius II and Eugenius III. Under Pope Innocent III, the commune replaced the senate with a pope-controlled Senatore. During the 13th century the conclave was created and aristocratic families fought each other for control of the papacy. The Western Schism (1377–1418), a split within the Catholic Church, saw bishops from both Rome and Avignon simultaneously claim papal status. Martin V was elected pope in 1418 following the Council of Constance, which settled the Western Schism. Around this time, the center of the Italian Renaissance moved from Florence to Rome, and works such as Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel were created. Papal corruption and nepotism led to the Reformation and subsequent Counter-Reformation, or Catholic Revival. During the Renaissance, Rome became one of the world’s greatest centers for art. Rome’s Renaissance era came to an end with the 1526 War of the League of Cognac and a 1527 sacking by Emperor Charles V-backed Landsknechts. A short-lived Roman Republic (1798–1800) interrupted papal rule. Most Papal States were annexed by France during Napoleon’s reign, with Rome becoming a department of the First French Empire and capital city. Papal States were reconstituted following Napoleon’s defeat via the 1814 Congress of Vienna. Rome was declared the Kingdom of Italy’s capital circa 1871. In October 1922, Benito Mussolini orchestrated his March on Rome, seizing power and declaring a new Italian Empire. Relative to other European cities, Rome largely escaped heavy bombardment during World War II. Following Mussolini’s arrest on July 25, 1943, Germans occupied Rome. The September 3, 1943 Armistice of Cassibile, or Italian Armistice, ended hostilities between Italy and the Allies, and Rome was liberated on June 4, 1944. Modernization ensued in the 1950s and early-60s, marked by la dolce vita, or “the sweet life”. Rome’s population reached 2.8 million by the mid-1980s.

Italy’s capital and also a special commune, Rome today is home to over 2.8 Romans. Within city limits, Vatican City is the world’s smallest country. Rome’s tallest building is Torre Eurosky at 509 feet. 28 bridges cross the Tiber River in Rome. 60 known catacomb complexes, including about 95 miles of tunnels, exist below Rome’s surface. Influential Roman inventions include numerals, the gladius, the newspaper, modern sewer systems, archways, air conditioning and surgical tools. In 2023, approximately 35 million people visited Rome. Home to a Mediterranean climate, Rome enjoys mild temperatures throughout the year, with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s °F. Snowfall is rare though not impossible. Additional points of interest  include Mausoleum of Augustus (large tomb – built 28 BC), Pyramid of Cestius (ancient Roman pyramid – opened 12 BC), Talking Statues of Rome (sites of dissent) and Ostia Lido (beach town). Local foods include carbonara (pasta dish – cured pork, hard cheese, eggs, salt, black pepper), porchetta (traditional Italian roast – boneless pork loin, belly, rib roast rolled together, seasoned with herbs), allesso di bollito (simmered beef dish), cacio e pepe (authentic pasta dish), maritozzi (Italian buns), pizza and gelato. Popular drinks are wine (vino rosso, prosecco), Campari (bitter aperitif), negroni (Italian cocktail – gin, vermouth rosso, Campari), Limoncello (southern Italian lemon liqueur) and Grappa (grape-based pomace brandy). A pre-dinner drink to stimulate the appetite is known as aperitivo.
