Politically and historically, it has represented the area of influence of Rome's municipal government. It is limited to the south by the [[Monti Prenestini]] range, [[Alban hillsHills]] and [[Pontine Marshes]]; to the west by the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]]; to the north by the hills surrounding [[Lake Bracciano]] and to the [[east]] by the [[Monti Tiburtini]] range.<ref name="Alföldi1963">{{cite book |last=Alföldi |first=Andreas |title=Early Rome and the Latins |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lhOxAAAAIAAJ |year=1963 |publisher=University of Michigan Press |isbn=978-0-472-10400-0 }}</ref>
