Based on historical data, the Roman city was founded in the year 753 B.C. Even so, should you hear the myths and stories, you will realize that the beginning of Rome took place throughout the time of Aeneas, who was goddess Venus' son.
Soon after Troy was defeated, Aeneas started traveling around the location. He made a stop at Carthage where he had an affair with Queen Dido. Right after he left, the queen ended up committing suicide. Aeneas' travel arrived to an end in Italy. He then got married, went on to become a king and was instrumental in founding a city.
Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers, were descendants of Aeneas. The two brothers have been credited for establishing Rome. The brothers had been heirs of King Numitor's kingdom, however the new leader who wrested the control of power gave orders for that brothers to be drowned.
Thankfully for that twins, there was a female wolf at the scene and she saved them and became their surrogate mother. Later on, the brothers were brought up by a shepherd.
Finally some time later, they managed to get in touch with their grandfather, King Numitor, who used the might of the brothers to acquire back again his kingdom. However, the two Romulus and Remus did not remain with their grandfather. They left after which went on to establish the metropolis of Rome close to the Tiber River.
Unfortunately, after some time, Romulus and Remus had an argument because Remus had left the boundaries of Rome and gone outside.
In a fit of anger, Romulus killed his brother. Following his brother's demise, Romulus continued to rule Rome and did so for a number of years. He then gave up his throne then went on to become a god named Quirinus.
Following Romulus, Rome had a number of rulers till it became a Republic. This state of the city stayed on for a few centuries until Caesar decided to become a dictator.
This saw Rome plunge into a few civil wars. The moment Caesar was assassinated, August, his son, grew to become the ruler and he was accountable for uniting Rome and putting an end to all of the civil wars.
