'''Vatican Hill''' (Latin: ''Mons Vaticanus'', Italian: ''Colle Vaticano'') is a hill located across the [[Tiber]] river from the traditional [[seven hills of Rome]]. It is the location of [[St. Peter's Basilica]]. From the 8th century B.C., when Rome was traditionally founded (''the year'' [[A.U.C.]] One), and through A.D. the mid-9th century, Vatican Hill was outside Rome, and was never one of the famous "seven hills of Rome" (the seat of the Caesars and of pagan imperial Roman power). When [[John the Apostle]] wrote the ''[[Book of Revelation]]'' in the first century of [[Christianity]] the Vatican Hill was not politically, geographically and civically included within the limits of the city of Rome as one of "''the seven heads''" mentioned in the ''Revelation''.

Almost unanimously, and for centuries, Roman citizens and the Senate consistently rejected petitions by inhabitants of the Vatican Hill to be included within the precincts of the city of Rome.
