Mount Algidus, Volcanic mountain in Alban Hills, Italy
Mount Algidus rises 950 meters above sea level in the Alban Hills region, forming part of the volcanic landscape near Rome.
In 458 BC, Roman forces under Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus achieved a decisive victory against the Aequi people at Mount Algidus during the Roman-Italic Wars.
The mountain's location between Velletri and Tusculum connects it to ancient Roman settlements, where numerous archaeological discoveries reveal past civilizations.
Hiking paths across Mount Algidus provide access to geological formations and offer clear views of the surrounding Lazio countryside throughout the year.
The mountain's strategic position made it a crucial defensive point during ancient conflicts, leading to multiple fortifications along its slopes.
