Regio X Palatium, Administrative region of Augustan Rome on Palatine Hill, Italy

The tenth region of Rome extended over 3.4 kilometers around the Palatine Hill, containing numerous imperial residences and ancient temples.

Emperor Augustus established Regio X Palatium in 7 BC as part of his reform dividing Rome into fourteen administrative districts for improved governance.

The region contained the Temple of Apollo Palatinus with its library, the Casa Romuli, and the Lupercal cave linked to Rome's foundation myths.

The district included 20 shrines, 89 patrician houses, 48 warehouses, 44 bath houses, and 89 fountains by the beginning of the fifth century.

The Palace of Domitian within Regio X featured the Domus Augustana, Domus Flavia, and a private sunken garden called the Hippodrome of Domitian.
