'''Rome''' (Italian: ''Roma'') was a major city in Renaissance [[Italy]], capital of the [[wikipedia:Papal State|Papal State]], and headquarters to the Italian sect of the [[Knights Templar|Templar Order]].

==Renaissance era==
The defacto capital of the Italian peninsula, as well as its largest city, Rome had been the headquarters of the [[Knights Templar]] for an unknown amount of time by the late 15th Century. In 1476, [[Rodrigo Borgia]], Grand Master of the Knights Templar and a powerful figure in Vatican politics briefly left the city to discuss his Order's plans before returning to get Papal approval<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Lineage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''</ref>.

In 1492, Rodrigo Borgia became Pope Alexander VI, and head of the Papal State and Catholic Church. Ruling from Rome, he was left alone by the [[Assassins]] for the most part until 1499, when [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] learned that the location of [[The Vault]] was in Rome, beneath the [[Capella Sistina|Sistine Chapel]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. During his journey through Rome, Ezio did not visit any of Rome's shops, landmarks of notable locations, heading directly for his confrontation with Borgia, and then leaving.

Following the [[Siege of Monteriggioni|assault]] of [[Cesare Borgia]] on the Assassin headquarters of [[Monteriggioni]], Ezio Auditore returned to Rome to exact his revenge, assuming control of [[Tiber Island]]. Rome in this time had fallen far behind its fellow cities of [[Florence]] and [[Venice]], and had stagnated in terms of development under the thumb of the Borgia<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>. Though it is more corrupted than Florence and Venice, it is four times larger than Venice ( the largest city in the game) in Assassin's Creed II. In [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]], Ezio's apprentices are sent to different countries in Europe and join Ezio in Rome. Also it is revealed that instead of renovating one villa like in [[Assassin's Creed II|''Assassin's Creed II'']], you will be able to renovate all five districts of Rome.

==Landmarks==
Landmarks in Rome included the [[Pantheon]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood E3 trailer">''[http://www.e3expo.com Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood E3 trailer]''</ref>, the [[Colosseum]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo">''[http://e3.g4tv.com/videos/46470/Ubisoft-E3-2010-Assassins-Creed-Brotherhood-Demo/ Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo]''</ref>, the [[Passetto di Borgo]], [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] and [[Sistine Chapel]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

==During Assassin's Creed II==

The city of Rome is accessible in AC2, the city however only appears in the last mission strand. Once you have completed the game it is not accessible again.
