Horti Aciliorum, Ancient Roman gardens on Pincian Hill, Rome, Italy.
The gardens of Horti Aciliorum extended from Trinità de' Monti to Villa Borghese and Porta Pinciana, featuring substantial retaining walls and a double-section swimming pool.
During the fourth century, the ownership of these gardens shifted from the gens Pincia to Anicia Faltonia Proba before becoming imperial property.
The gardens functioned as a meeting place for Roman elite society, hosting discussions and gatherings among carefully designed pathways and green spaces.
The northern and eastern sections of the original garden walls remain visible today as they were integrated into the Aurelian Walls during later construction.
The gardens contained an underground water system with multiple tunnels carved into rock, connecting to a sophisticated two-part swimming pool structure.
