Hello, everybody and welcome back. Let's go on in these guided tour on the Palatine Hill at the beginning of the story in the early kingdom around the middle of the eighth century BC. Outside of the wall, new buildings are created for the first time. A large area which occupies the extreme stretch or the northern slope of the hill, is occupied now and forever by three plots. One dedicated to Vesta, one very important goddess. One dedicated to the Lares, the divine ancestors of the Roman, the guardian of the city, and one to the house of the king. Queer found here in this plot the remains of a hut. Very interesting thing is that from an archaeological point of view, we see that the sacred charter or the area is really original. Because before the building's activity started, they carried on a ritual plowing here. You see these grooves, these are grooves created by a plow. We know from chemical analysis of the earth that, no seeds have been planted in these grooves, so there's no agricultural use of this land, but just a cleaning to prepare all these for the new buildings of the new goddess of the new city. This is the hut enclosed by a wall here with the entrance. It was a rectangular hut. This red stretches here are the archaeological feature. We have this part of the wall, the entrance here and this part inside. So you can see this limit of the ditch is this one and this pothole is this one. This is how we can figure out this kind of structure, with a pit inside covered by a wooden beam and possibly the six bed for the six Vestal Virgin, we know that the Vestal Virgins were six ladies. This is how we can imagine the old sanctuary. We know that behind the castle of the Vestales, there should be the temple of Vesta, the Aedes Vestae. In the 8th century BC, temples were made up like huts. Behind the plot of Vesta and other Vestal Virgins, there was a second plot joined to a building. This was actually an empty spaces with an entrance by this side, and a part of the clay bedrock has been cut in this regular shape, and earth for sacrifice have been placed inside it. Beneath this earth, at the middle of the 8th century BC, a squared room is created, maybe a sacred structure to look over a sacred space called a temple. After a very short time, around the original home, a new building is created. So as you can see here, the plot with the earth and the court in the bedrock, sacred area, possibly to the Lares, the guardian, the divine guardians of the new city. Then new building here with a central hole, two rooms here, two rooms here with a portico in front of it. The spatial status, once again, of this piecing, is shown by the fact that the child grave, once again, is placed underneath the foundation exactly here. The central hole was surrounded by a bench. So we have to imagine people grouping here and sitting along the walls. This is how we can imagine this wooden structure. This quite imposing building even if made of clay and wood, undergo to a certain number of changes in a very short time, for example, still at the end of the 8th century BC, new holes are added here. Any changing is marked by a votive offering like here. This is how we can imagine the whole layout of the city, the sacred area with the hut and the new building around 700 BC. New changing, small rooms are joined to the major. The hole is now smaller, but the layout of the building is more or less the same. As far as we go inside the 7th century BC, we see more changing. Once again, now, there's a new wing of this building. So this kind of rooms are beginning to embrace this court which is standing to be more and more an inner court of the building. Finally, at the opposite side of the Palatine in this corner here, where the Romans believed that the foundation right has been celebrated. But the Roman believed that the shepherd who saved Romuli and Remus lived and were Remus himself had lived. We had a minor hut joined to a major hut, maybe a sanctuary dedicated to do fundamental gods, a male god and a female goddess, who were supposed to be the ancestor of the kings. In front of the these huts, we have a pit and we have an altar. Which is a good coincidence because we know that the foundation right of Rome was celebrating, digging down a pit, filling up this pit with seeds and fluids, building up an altar above this fill, and then lighting up a fire on the altar. This was the moment to where the city was born.
