Monti is the 1st rione of Rome, Italy, identified by the initials R. I, located in Municipio I. The name literally means 'mountains' in Italian and comes from the fact that the Esquiline, the Viminal Hills, and parts of the Quirinal and the Caelian Hills belonged to this rione: currently, however, the Esquiline Hill belongs to the rione Esquilino.
The Via Labicana was an ancient road of Italy, leading east-southeast from Rome. The course after the first six miles from Rome is not taken by any modern road, but it can be clearly traced from remains of pavement and buildings. It seems possible that the road at first led to Tusculum, was then extended to Labici, and later became a road for through traffic. As the preferred way to the southeast, the Via Labicana may even have superseded the Via Latina. The Via Labicana's summit just west of the Mount Algidus pass, calls for some 22 metres (72 ft) less of a climb overall. Beyond the two roads' reunion, the route was probably called Via Latina rather than Via Labicana.
