According to Roman tradition Rome was founded on the Palatine Hill on 21 April 753 BC. The date is uncertain, however, the day links the foundation to Palilia, a sacred festival in honour of Pales, the divine protector of shepherds and their flocks. The archaeological record confirms that a settlement was established on the Palatine Hill around 750 BC. Post-holes for timber huts have been excavated there, and, indeed, a hut with a thatched roof was a Roman national monument right up to Imperial times. The later Forum Romanum was the site of their cemetery, which was used as such up to c. 600 BC. Other Iron Age settlements have been found on the Esquiline and Quirinal hills; there has also been found one at the site of the Forum Boarium.
