Tiberim

Tiberim is the accusative singular form of the Latin name Tiberis, referring to the Tiber River. The river runs from the central Apennines through Italy’s peninsula and into the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing near Rome. In Latin grammar, proper nouns such as Tiberis decline like other third-declension nouns, with Tiberim functioning as the direct object in sentences that involve motion toward or across the river.

The Tiber has long been central to Roman geography and history. It provided water and a vital transportation route, helped define the early boundaries of Rome, and features in myth and narrative connected to the city’s founding. Its banks were a setting for various historic and legendary events that shaped Roman identity and urban development.

In Latin literature, Tiberim appears as the river referred to in the accusative case when it is the object of action or description. It is encountered in sentences describing movement toward the river, crossing it, or other relations in which the river is the direct object or target of a verb or prepositional phrase. Latin authors use the form to specify the river explicitly within a narrative or descriptive context.

In modern scholarship and translation, Tiberim is understood as the standard accusative form of the river’s Latin name, with English translations normally rendering it as “the Tiber” in contexts that require a direct object or directional sense. The usage reflects how Latin preserves case distinctions to convey relation and action involving geographical features.
