Tiber
The Tiber (, Latin ''Tiberis'', Italian ''Tevere'', (:ˈteːvere))〔 (Dizionario d'ortografia e di pronunzia )〕 is the third-longest river in Italy, rising in the Apennine Mountains in Emilia-Romagna and flowing through Umbria and Lazio, where it is joined by the Aniene river, to the Tyrrhenian Sea.〔(Lazio – Latium | Italy )〕 It drains a basin estimated at . The river has achieved lasting fame as the main watercourse of the city of Rome, founded on its eastern banks.
The river rises at Mount Fumaiolo in central Italy and flows in a generally southerly direction past Perugia and Rome to meet the sea at Ostia. Popularly called ''flavus'' ("the blond"), in reference to the yellowish colour of its water, the Tiber has heavily advanced at the mouth by about since Roman times, leaving the ancient port of Ostia Antica inland.〔"Tiber River." ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. 2006〕〔"Tiber". ''World Encyclopedia''. Philip's, 2005.〕 However, it does not form a proportional delta, owing to a strong north-flowing sea current close to the shore, to the steep shelving of the coast, and to slow tectonic subsidence.
==Sources==
The source of the Tiber consists of two springs away from each other on Mount Fumaiolo. These springs are called "Le Vene."〔(Tiber Springs – Mount Fumaiolo )〕 The springs are in a beech forest above sea level. During the 1930s, Benito Mussolini placed an antique marble Roman column at the point where the river arises, inscribed QUI NASCE IL FIUME SACRO AI DESTINI DI ROMA ("Here is born the river / sacred to the destinies of Rome"). There is an eagle on the top of this column. The first miles of the Tiber run through Valtiberina before entering Umbria.〔(Tuscany tours – the origin of the Tiber River )〕
