jan 1, 753 BC - Romulus and Remus mythically found Rome

Description:

Romulus and Remus, twins, found Rome on the site where they were suckled by a she-wolf after being placed in the Tiber River by Amulius. Amulius put them in the river as revenge against Rhea Silvia because she did not fulfill her chastity as Vestil Virgin. Romulus ultimately killed Remus because the two brothers argued where the city should be built. The name of Rome was derived by Romulus' name.
