Q. Which of the following is also known as ‘Eternal City’ ?
Some of the nicknames of Rome are: The Eternal City, Caput Mundi, the City of seven hills, etc. Rome was known as the Eternal City even among the ancient Romans themselves. It was so-called because the Roman people thought that no matter what happened to the world, no matter how many other empires might rise and fall, Rome would go on forever. Tibullus (54-18 B.C.), Roman elegiac poet, and Ovid (43 B.C), one of the greatest of the Latin poets, as well as other Roman writers, refer to the city as eternal, and the thought is expressed in many official documents of the Empire in later days. In Vergil’s Aeneid Jupiter tells Venus that he will give the Romans imperium sine fine, “an empire without end.” The phrase was popularized by The Eternal City (1901), a novel by Hall Caine that deals with a Utopian state in Rome.
