Horti Calyclani, Archaeological site on Esquiline Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Horti Calyclani extends across the eastern section of Rome, marked by boundary stones that define its territorial limits with neighboring gardens.
Discovered in 1873-74, two stone markers revealed the inscription 'cippi hi finiunt hortos Calyclanos et Taurianos' north of Via Principe Amedeo.
The garden complex represented the Roman elite's approach to urban development, combining nature with social gathering spaces in ancient times.
Visitors can find the original boundary stones from the gardens displayed at the Antiquarium Comunale museum on Celio Hill in Rome.
Three boundary stones mark the separation between Horti Calyclani and Horti Tauriani, with one discovered later in 1951 on Via Giolitti.
