An ancient city that stood about 16 miles from Rome, Laurentum was the capital of the Latium region. Its name came from laurus, a Latin word that means "laurel," so it's often presumed that bay laurel trees grew plentifully in Laurentum. Laurel leaves also held much significance in the lives of Ancient Romans, as they were used to make crowns and wreaths for the victors of various competitions.
