Question
Residents of a “hanging city” above this river were terrorized by rumors of a giant octopus and prayed to a beauty goddess “of the Sewer.” During Argei, twenty-seven straw figures were thrown annually into this river to honor a drowned king of Alba Longa that may name it. The Tetrarchy was abolished shortly after a battle on this river’s Milvian Bridge. The first colonia was a city at the mouth of this river which imported grain and was named Ostia. This river’s aqueducts like the Aqua Appia supplied water to bathhouses in a city built on seven hills like the Palatine and Capitoline. For 10 points, name this river that flows through Rome. ■END■
ANSWER: Tiber River [or Tiberis or Tevere; prompt on Albula] (The first line is Pliny the Elder’s description of Rome and of Cloacina as the “Venus of the Sewer.” The drowned king was Tiberinus.)
