What happened at the Founding of Rome
Roman legend held that the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, said to be raised by a she-wolf, founded Rome on the Palatine Hill after a quarrel in which Romulus killed his brother. No firm archaeological proof supports the exact date or the myth's details, though excavations show settlement on the site by the eighth century BCE. This founding date, calculated by the Roman scholar Varro in the first century BCE, became the traditional reference point known as ab urbe condita (AUC), used by later historians for reckoning Roman chronology. The story served Romans as a founding myth explaining their city's origins, identity, and destiny.
