The Tiber, or Tevere, was a river that ran through the city of Rome and separated the Vaticano District from the rest of the city.
The Castel Sant'Angelo rested on the river bank, while Tiber Island, the only island upon the river, could be found further south.[1]
Bridges
There were six bridges built over the Tiber which allowed civilians to cross the river from various points within the city. Among these bridges were the Ponte Sant'Angelo and the Ponte Sisto.
However, only two of these bridges crossed the river to Tiber Island; both of which were marked with the Templar cross. No other bridge in Rome had these symbols, yet Tiber Island housed the Assassins' headquarters.
Trivia
- Ezio Auditore considered dropping the Apple into the Tiber after the confrontation in the Vatican in 1499.
- There were hidden tunnel entrances submerged in the Tiber, which led into the Tiber Island headquarters.
- The iconic scene of the Assassin ceremony ended with the newly-initiated Assassin performing a Leap of Faith into the Tiber.
- Cesare Borgia would often have the bodies of his enemies discarded into the Tiber, including his brother Juan, and Francesco Troche.
- In the year 2012, the body of the Assassin and captive of Abstergo Industries, Clay Kaczmarek was found floating in the Tiber, having apparently been dumped there after his death.[2]
