According to the legend, the city was just founded suddenly, but it was surely slowly formed from the fusion of the Latins' villages, situated on the left side of the river Tiber.

Romolus killed his brother Remus because he surpassed what would've been the limits, the pomerio, of Rome.
Initially, the population lacked of wemen so, by tricking their Sabine neighbours into getting invited to a celebration, Romulus raped the Sabine wemen and provided them to the inhabitants.

Romulus Quirinus, the 1st monarch of Rome, was praised as the hero founder and a deity.

Fabius Pictor associates 7 with mumber of Roman kings, who reigned for a conventional time of 35 years, giving a total of 245 years, the period between the foundation and the monarchy's end, caused by several Etruscan an aristocrat Roman rebellions 509 BC.

I am at Castel Romano Outlet (big filesize)


Here's a challenge: memorizing the 7 kings and the 7 hills (Saeptimontium) of Rome.
• Romolus - Numa Pompilius - Tullius Hostilius - Ancus Marcius - Tarquinius Priscus - Servius Tullius - Tarquinius the Superb
• Aventine - Caelian - Capitoline - Esquiline - Palatine, Quirinal - Viminal

Happy anniversary of Rome! Post Roman anime girls. I go first.

I once stared into the abyss that is history, and it's unbelievable how far back the various factors in the dark ages set us back. For a whole millenium barely any progress. We could have been in 3024 by now if only the romans had the incentive to industrialize. They knew about steam but saw little use for it. They made steam spin things but had little use for it. They had slaves to do stuffs, so why even bother? It's insane.

Eyup. It was until the century of Enlightenment that they hadn't figure out how to evade from those dark times.

Altough Etruscans were the ones who introduced lots of noticeable engineering techniques in their own cities, like the vaulted arch, and passed them down to the rest of Lazio.

In VI century BC (Etruscan domain in Rome), they contributed to, for example, construction of residences and temples using stones, water canalization through the fognary Cloaca Maxima system, swamps quenching and tempering. It was the last king's, kinda a dictator, fault when aristocrats started expelling the Etruscans.

Obviously the imported knowledges were acquired and reelaborated by the Romans, who shouldn't be accused for it, but the Etruscans' submission is a pity for not seeing more out of a population very open to economy too.


Did they also obtain steam from geothermal energy? Power plants are still very common around those regions

Right, but by its next recurrence, a Venice anniversary thread is expected

Funny that Eastern Rome or Byzantine is pretty much greece. So Rome turns from trying to copy greece to become greece.

There are way more other eras, included literally today. Have you seen the men in Modern times, like XVII century?

They failed their purpose as "Rome: The Revenge", becoming Turks who surrendered the official Roman Christian religion to adopt the cult of Greek gods (or they became Orthodox I sincerely am ignorant). The fallen Western Empire transitioned into the Medieval times, but not too forcefully to not conserve the cultural aspects that help recognize the once biggest empire it was.
