Alta Semita
The Alta Semita ("High Path") was a street in ancient Rome that gave its name to one of the 14 regions of Augustan Rome.
The Alta Semita brought traffic into Rome from the salt route ''(Via Salaria)'' that had existed since prehistoric times. The great antiquity of the street is also suggested by ''semita'', a Latin word usually meaning "footpath" and not used for any other Roman street.〔Lawrence Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992), p. 5.〕 It ran most likely along the modern Via del Quirinale and Via Venti Settembre, on the spine of the Quirinal Hill, creating a straight route southwest from the Porta Collina in the Servian Wall to a major temple from the Hadrianic era on the Collis Salutaris. It probably connected to the Vicus Iugarius.〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 5.〕
It may also be that the street called ''Alta Semita'' in the Roman Republic was not the same as the one known in the later Empire.〔Kim J. Hartswick, ''The Gardens of Sallust: A Changing Landscape'' (University of Texas Press, 2004), p. 150, note 10, citing the arguments of Rodríguez-Almeida.〕
The regionary catalogues name Regio VI as ''Alta Semita'', after the street.〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 5.〕 The temple of the Flavian family (''Templum Gentis Flaviae'') was located ''in Alta Semita'', according to the regionary catalogue.
