Portuense (Suburb of Rome)
Portuense is the seventh Suburb of Rome (Italy), identified as S. VII.
The name is associated with the Quartiere with the same name and derives - as for the Quartiere - from the Via Portuense, which connected Rome to Portus.

Geography
Territory
The Suburb is located in the south-west area of the town, between Via Portuense in the north and the river Tiber in the south.
The Suburb borders:
- to the north, the Suburb S. VIII Gianicolense (along Via Portuense, between Via del Fosso della Magliana and Via del Trullo) and the Quartiere Q. XII Gianicolense (along Via Portuense, between Via del Trullo and Largo Gaetano la Loggia).
- to the east, the Quartiere Q. XI Portuense, from which it is separated, starting from Via Portuense, by Largo Gaetano la Loggia, Via Pietro Frattini, via dell'Imbrecciato up to Via della Magliana, then by the viaduct of Magliana up to the bridge on the Tiber.
- to the south-east, the Quartiere Q. XXXII Europa (along the Tiber, between Ponte della Magliana and the point 41.831683°N 12.449835°E) and the Zone Z. XXXIX Tor di Valle (along the Tiber, between the point 41.831683°N 12.449835°E and the confluence of the Magliana) 41.828569°N 12.420801°E.
- to the west, the Zone Z. XL Magliana Vecchia (along Via del Fosso della Magliana, starting from the confluence of the Magliana and the Tiber up to Via Portuense).
The urban zone 15D Trullo is encompassed by the Suburb, which also includes the historic area called La Parrocchietta.
History
The Suburb was established with Council Resolution nr. 20 of 20 August 1921, which assigned it the numbering S. VIII and the toponymic code 308; then it assumed the current numbering and code following the suppression of the Suburb S. VII Ostiense, due to the variation of the toponymic dictionary of March 1, 1954.

gollark: And they somehow have billions of transistors switching billions of times a second using less power than an old inefficient lightbulb.
gollark: They're working on scales barely above individual atoms, and yet somehow reliably and cheaply enough that you can (well, will be able to around today) buy stuff made this way for £200 or so.
