Palatine| One of the seven hills on which ancient Rome was built. According to tradition it was the site of the original settlement. It was the residence of many leading citizens under the Republic, and the site of the imperial palaces of Augustus, Tiberius, Nero, Domitian, and their successors. |
Palatine| Town in Cook County, northeastern Illinois, USA, 42 km/26 mi northwest of Chicago; population (1990 est) 39,300. Mainly residential, it also produces automobile supplies, safety glass, plastic moulds, and fuses. It is the seat of William Rainey Harper College (1965). |
| Settled in 1833, Palatine remained a tiny agricultural market centre, even after the opening of its rail link to Chicago in 1853. Post-World War II suburbanization turned the village into a large middle-class dormitory community. |

| Anthony's Nose = this incident probably occurred at a place on the Mohawk River called today The Noses, between Fonda and Palatine Bridge; there is another St. There were two palaces and a vineyard behind the Palatine Hill; but in these days landed property had not much value, and the two palaces and the vineyard remained to the family since they were beneath the rapacity of the pope and his son. There the Capitol thou seest,
Above the rest lifting his stately head
On the Tarpeian rock, her citadel
Impregnable; and there Mount Palatine,
The imperial palace, compass huge, and high
The structure, skill of noblest architects,
With gilded battlements, conspicuous far,
Turrets, and terraces, and glittering spires. |
