Tiber
Flows through Rome
The Tiber is the river that flows through Rome, central to the city's geography and history.
Ancient Rome was founded on its banks, and the river remains a defining feature of the modern city.
We walked along the Tiber at sunset.
The name sometimes stands for Rome itself or Roman civilization.
