The Caelian Hill ( Caelius Mons ), located in the southeast part of Rome, was included within the first, second, and fifth Augustan regions. Its oldest name was Mons Querquetulanus (hill forested with oak) but, according to ancient tradition, it was replaced by the current name when the Etruscan general Caele Vibenna camped there with his army in the sixth century BCE .
