Best Answer

The Palatine Hill was one of the seven hills of Rome. It was at the centre of the city and it was a favoured place of residence of the Roman aristocracy. Because of this, the Roman emperors called the chamberlain of the imperial court palatinus. Constantine the great called the imperial palace guard Scholae Palatinaeand this term was used from then to the end of the days of the Romans. In the Middle Ages the titlecomes palatinus (count patine) was used for a variety of high ranking royal officials. It was used by the Merovingians and the Carolingians and was revived by Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church used the title judices palatini (papal palace judges) for the highest administrative officers of the pope's household.
