Synopsis The Seven Hills of Rome by : Grant Heiken
From humble beginnings, Rome became perhaps the greatest intercontinental power in the world. Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city. This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework. If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation.

Synopsis Seven Hill City by : B. Stroud
"God lives in my hometown." History associates four ancient world capitals as having "seven hills: " Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles. Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die. Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.

Synopsis City of the Seven Hills by : Siimply Unique Homeschooling
This short history of Rome is part of a four book set, intended for middle school readers that introduces the major points of world history. Like most Roman histories written for younger students it focuses primarily on the Kingdom and Republican eras, and conveys all of the major legends and hero stories of the age. Harding is exceptionally good at conveying the essential stories of an era in concise, but engaging prose. An excellent introduction to Roman history.
