For the Roman and other instances of a Mons Gaudii (vel sim.) so etymologized see now Benjamin Z. Kedar, "Jerusalem's Two _Montes Gaudii_", in Micaela Sinibaldi et al., eds., _Crusader Landscapes in the Medieval Levant: The Archaeology and History of the Latin East_ (Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2016), pp. 3-10.

Greetings all!
It appears to be established that there was a mountain by the name Mons Gaudii outside Jerusalem, where the city first came into view; crusaders are said to have fallen on their knees there.
And a Monte del Gozo where one first saw the city Compostella.
There is also apparently a mountain (or hill) called Mons Gaudii in or outside Rome - is there a similar tradition associated with it?
And does anyone know of any similar designations for spots from which a holy place was first be viewed? Is there any literature on the history of any of the locations mentioned (in particular medieval references?)
Thanks,
Meg
