Did you know that Rome had a green belt? In the late Republican period, the hills of Rome had lush and luxurious garden estates called "horti". In the Imperial period, most of the residences became imperial property and were individually refined and rebuilt by various imperial family members. We;ll take a look at what the remains today in the (sometimes stunning) archaeological sites, as well as the artefacts in some of Rome's greatest museums!
