Description:
Scarce c.18th map of Italy centred around Rome with an inset of Urbs septicollis (the name of Rome), showing the position of the seven hills. The Latin phrase Civitas Septicollis, or “Seven-Hilled city,” is an allusion to Rome. According to Joseph Lomas Towers in his Elucidiations of Prophecy, Ch. XIII, p. 199, Rome was as well known by its situation on seven hills or montes, as by the name of Rome itself; Urbs septicollis was never mistaken for any other city.
