The '''Commune of Rome''' ({{langx|it|Comune di Roma}}) was a semi-autonomous, citizen-led political regime established in the city of the same name, whose emergence can be included within the process of constitution of urban communes in [[Northern Italy]] (11th-12th centuries). As a political-administrative entity, the Commune of Rome, with its physical headquarters on the [[Capitoline Hill]], was made up of governing and representative bodies (''Arengum'' or ''Parlamentum'', Senate and Council), justice and finance whose jurisdiction presumably included, from north to south, from the Paglia bridge in [[Radicofani]] to [[Ceprano]] and, from east to west, from [[Carsoli]] to the coastline.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thetimestream.wordpress.com/2013/12/24/historical-oddities-the-roman-commune/|title=Historical Oddities: The Roman Commune|last=Wilcox|first=Charlie|date=2013-12-24|website=The Time Stream|access-date=2016-12-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Wickham |first=Chris |title=Medieval Rome: Stability and Crisis of a City, 900-1150 (Oxford Studies in Medieval European History) |date=2015 |isbn=978-0199684960 |edition=1st |pages=442|publisher=Oxford University Press }}</ref>
