Beginning of Roman Civilization (jan 1, 753 BC – jan 1, 509 BC)
Description:
The earliest inhabitants of the Italian Peninsula had crossed the Alps and had settled in northern Italy. Many of these early settlers— called Latins—moved south and settled in Latium, a plain lying south of the Tiber River near the western coast of Italy. From this region arose a civilization that would one day rule the entire Mediterranean world.Added to timeline:
