Society of American Etchers This view of The Capitoline, Rome, is the artist's interpretation as it must have looked in the 16th Century, when it became known as Monte Caprino, or Hill of the Goats. The center of Rome fell into disrepair early in the Middle Ages, and by the time of the Medici Popes this area had become so inhospitable it was considered fit only for grazing goats.
