Suburra (usually spelled Subura in antiquity) was an area of the city of Rome, Italy located below the Murus Terreus on the Carinae. In ancient Roman times, it was a crowded lower-class area that was also notorious as a red-light district. It lies in the dip between the southern end of the Viminal and the western end of the Esquiline hills. Most of its inhabitants lived in insulae, tall apartment buildings with tabernae on the ground floor.
Julius Caesar grew up in a family home ( domus) in the Suburra district, as the Suburra had grown up around the property many years before his birth.
The district is featured in Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome, Steven Saylor's Roman Blood, Martha Marks' Rubies of the Viper, SPQR series by John Maddox Roberts, and Netflix's first original motion picture in Italy, Suburra.
Suburra is 2015 Italian neo-noir film directed by Stefano Sollima, based on the novel by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo De Cataldo of the same title. The movie was financed by Netflix and RAI. The movie focuses on the connections between organized crime and politics in Rome in 2011. Suburra was the name of a suburb of Ancient Rome.
