12 Father tiber The chief river in central Italy, the Tiber rises as a small southwestern flow in the Apennines near Arretium, separating Etruria from Umbria and Latium. The Tiber River is the symbolic father of Rome, guiding Aeneas in a dream to the future site of Rome, bearing the infant twins Romulus and Remus to safety, and serving as a safe and profitable pathway for early Roman commerce.
