Rome is well known as The ‘Eternal City’  and also at times addressed as ‘Caput Mundi’, a Latin phrase which means "Rome capital of the world". Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy and of the Lazio region. Provisional data suggest a density of 2,877,215 people in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq. mi). Rome is the most populated community of Italy. It is the fourth-most crowded city in the European Union by population within city limits. Rome is situated on the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio region, along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City is the only existing example of an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome. This is the reason why Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.
