Rome was a department of the First French Empire in present-day Italy. It was named after the city of 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 title of King of Rome.
