Diagonally opposite at the end of Circus Maximus is the Celian Hill, another of the seven hills.Testaccio is an area to the southwest of Aventino along the bank of the Tiber and is named for the eighth hill of Rome, a man made hill that was built from discarded pot amphoras testae in Roman times. In Testaccio you can find great traditional roman restaurants, and at night the zone is filled with discos.
