Rome (department)
Rome is the name of a department of the First French Empire in present Italy. It was named after the city Rome. It was formed in 1808, when the Papal States were annexed by France, and was known as the département du Tibre (after the Tiber river) before being renamed in 1810.
Following the conquest of the Eternal City, Napoleon gave his son the style "His Majesty the King of Rome".
It was disbanded after the defeat of Napoleon in 1814. Its territory corresponds approximately to the modern Italian region of Lazio.
