The Tiber (Latin: Tiberis, Italian: Tevere) is the third-longest river in Italy, rising in the Apennine Mountains in Emilia-Romagna and flowing mainly through Umbria and Lazio to the Tyrrhenian Sea, between Ostia and Fiumicino.
The river is well-known because the city of Rome was founded on its eastern banks.
