Ancient textual sources, including Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Plutarch, place the purported dwelling place of Romulus near the Scalae Caci at the southwestern corner of the Palatine Hill in Rome. Whether the place cited by ancient texts and maintained in antiquity until at least the fourth century CE corresponds to the archaeological remains of archaic huts excavated near the Clivus Victoriae remains a matter of debate.
