jan 1, 143 BC - Little is certain about the history of the kingdom, as nearly no written records from that time survive, and the histories about it that were
written during the Republic and Empire are largely based on legends. However, the history of the Roman Kingdom began with the city's
founding, traditionally dated to 753 BC with settlements around the Palatine Hill along the river Tiber in Central Italy, and ended with the
overthrow of the kings and the establishment of the Republic in about 509 BC.
