Officials said the resurfaced treasures highlight the importance of a hill so favored by the rich and powerful that its name is at the origin of the words "palace" in English, "palais" in French and "palazzo" in Italian.

And the root-word "Pfalz" in German. A "Pfalzgraf" would be called in English a "Count Palatine," which originally meant a nobleman who had special duties at the palace of the emperor.

The name of the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz recalls the days when a Count Palatine ruled over part of that territory.

Thanks for posting this! It's been many years since my trip to Italy, but I went all OVER the Palatine hill and loved it. Sorry to read that most tourists skip those amazing places.

Conservation work on Rome's Palatine Hill has yielded a bounty of new discoveries, including an underground grotto possibly revered as the place where a wolf nursed the city's legendary founders, archaeologists said Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2007.
