Tiber River
Rome's main river
The Tiber River is the principal river of central Italy, flowing through Rome to the Mediterranean Sea.
Ancient Rome was founded on its banks, and the river figures prominently in Roman history and mythology—Romulus and Remus were said to have been cast into its waters.
The Tiber runs muddy through the heart of the city.
