Tarpeian

This view of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House is from the Royal Botanic Gardens, beside Tarpeian Way. The Tarpeian Way is the pathway that runs along the northern edge of the steep cliff known as the Tarpeian Wall, at the edge of the Botanic Gardens. When the rock at Bennelong Point was cut away to build the road that now leads to the Opera House, the wall and the path were named after the Tarpeian Rock which overlooks the Roman Forum.
