The Tarpeian Rock (rupes Tarpeia) was a steep cliff of the southern summit of the Capitoline Hill, overlooking the Roman Forum in Ancient Rome. It was used during the Roman Republic as an execution site.
The latin maxim Arx tarpeia Capitoli proxima which means "the Tarpeian rock is close to the Capitole", is often used to remind people that when in power, the fall can be fatal. It sometimes mean that there is little that separates public honors from public shame.
