Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill ((ラテン語:Collis Palatium or Mons Palatinus); (イタリア語:Palatino) (:palaˈtiːno)) is the centermost of the Seven Hills of Rome and is one of the most ancient parts of the city. It stands 40 metres〔Palatine Hill. (2007). In Encyclopædia Britannica. Retrieved August 25, 2007, from Encyclopædia Britannica Online: (britannica.com )〕 above the Forum Romanum, looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other.
It is the etymological origin of the word "palace" and its cognates in other languages (Italian "Palazzo", French "Palais", German "Palast", etc.).
==Etymology==
According to Livy〔(Livy 1.5.1 ).〕 (59 BC – AD 17) the Palatine hill got its name from the Arcadian settlement of Pallantium. More likely, it is derived from the noun ''palātum'' "palate"; Ennius uses it once for the "heaven", and it may be connected with the Etruscan word for sky, ''falad''.〔Ernout and Meillet, ''Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue latine'', s.v. ''palātum''.〕
The term palace itself stems from ''Palatium''.
