Then there is the story of Aeneas and the Trojan refugees. At any rate both of these tales are legends which mean that they may or may not be founded in fact. In reality, the city of Rome was founded by a group of locals banding together for protection more than likely generations before the story of Romulus took root.

Answer 2

According the semi-legendary story of the foundation of Rome, Romulus was its founder. He became the ruler of the Palatine Hill, the central hill of the Seven Hills of Rome. He then united the people of the settlements on the other hills into a single state and became the first king of Rome. Archaeological evidence shows that he built a regia (royal palace) and several temples in the forum, an area in a valley between three of the hills. He turned the forum into the civic centre of the newly founded city-state. The temples were places of worship for the people of all the settlements and the gods they were dedicated to became gods of all the Romans. Romulus also created a royal advisory body, called the senate. This was a council of elders (senate comes from senex, which means old man). He selected 100 pater familias (head of the family/ head of the household) from the leading clans of Rome at the time to seat in the senate. This assured participation and consensus to his rule by the rich and powerful. He also divided Rome into three districts. Each district supplied 1,000 infantrymen and 100 cavalrymen to create an army of 3,000 soldiers and 300 cavalry.

In Virgil's epic call;ed the Aeneid, Aeaneas, a Survivor of the Trojan War, landed in Italy and founded the Latin city of Lavinium. His son, Ascanius founded the Latin city of Alba Longa and its royal dynasty. Romulus and his twin brother Remus were said to be the children of Silvia Rhea, the daughter of the deposed king of Alba Longa. This made the twin descendants of Aeneas and bridged a 400-year gap between the date of the Trojan War and the date of the foundation of Rome. The Romans fancied themselves as descendants of the Trojans

Virgil's Aeneid also tells another legend, that of Evander who was a hero from Arcadia in Greece, the son of the god Mercury and the goddess Carmenta. Some 60 years before the Trojan War he and his followers founded a city Greek Arcadian settlement on the Palatine Hill by the river Tiber which, he called Pallantium. This name was similar to the name of the Palatine Hill, which Romulus turned into the first nucleus of Rome. The Palatine Hill has two spurs, the Palatium and the . There was speculation that Romulus took charge the Germalius and then came to rule both his people and the Argives (the descendants of Evander) on the Palatium .
