The location of the Velia is indicated on this speculative map of Rome circa 753 BC.The Colosseum in 1880. On the left, the Velian Hill
The Velia — or Velian Hill or Velian Ridge — is a saddle or spur stretching out from the middle of the north side of the Palatine Hill towards the Oppian Hill[1] (itself a spur of the Esquiline Hill) in Rome.
In later times, the Velia was called Summa Sacra Via ("Summit of the Sacra Via") — since that road began there at its highest point — and was marked by the Arch of Titus and Temple of Venus and Roma. (An alternate theory is that the Velia was actually the eastern half of the Palatine).[2]
