Twenty-six centuries on a single hill. Rome is the only city in the dataset whose notable births stretch from the late Republic through every Western era to the present day, and the categories shift accordingly — from senators and emperors to popes and martyrs to film directors and footballers. The city has had an unusually steady supply of fame in every century since 1500, and an unusually long memory of who counted in every century before.

Through the Centuries

One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Rome during each.
