From the final episode of HBO drama Rome, a screencap of Julius Caesar surveying a map of the city. Caesar intends to divert the river to reclaim land for the expansion of Rome. Strangely enough, the city has about the same shape as some other familiar place... No wonder our leaders have such delusions of grandeur, yes?
(Incidentally I find to my horror that Singapore is also a city of seven hills...)

Seven hills? Which are they? I sorta thought that most of the landforms were used for reclamation already...
Seven mostly flattened ex-hills then =D
Bukit Timah, Bukit Merah, Bukit Gombak, Bukit Purmei, Bukit Ho Swee, Mount Faber, Mount Vernon...
was Rome really shaped like that? gosh! what a coincidence!
i don't think there's anything wrong with having visions of grandeur though. :)
eh eh you forgot a good number: bukit panjang, bukit sedap, Mt Sinai, Mt Alvernia...
yah yah scholar speaking of graduer, ooo i shake in my pants with anticipation.h
But Rome has more than seven hills...
beach-yi
careful you don't drop anything when shaking!
