Regola is the 7th ''rione'' of Rome, Italy, identified by the initials R. VII, and belongs to the Municipio I. The name comes from ''Arenula'' (the name is recognizable in the modern ''Via Arenula''), which was the name of the soft sand (''rena'' in Italian) that the river Tiber left after the floods, and that built strands on the left bank. The inhabitants of the ''rione'' are called ''Regolanti''. They were nicknamed ''mangiacode'' ('tail-eaters'), after the typical dish ''coda alla vaccinara'', which was a specialty of the many ''vaccinari'' ('butchers') of the ''rione''. The seal of the ''rione'' represents a rampant deer with a turquoise background. History During the Roman empire, the area belonged to the ''Campus Martius''. In particular, in the modern Regola there was the Trigarium, the stadium where the riders of the ''triga'' (a cart with three horses) used to train. When Emperor Augustus divided Rome into 14 regions, the modern Regola belonged was included in the I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
