Learning The Beginnings Of The Roman Empire

By Ashley Mieler


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.

Right after Troy was defeated, Aeneas began traveling around the place. He made a stop at Carthage exactly where he had an affair with Queen Dido. Right after he left, the queen ended up committing suicide. Aeneas' journey came to an end in Italy. He got married, went on to become a king and was instrumental in founding a metropolis.

Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers, had been descendants of Aeneas. The two brothers have already been credited for establishing Rome. The brothers were heirs of King Numitor's kingdom, but the new leader who wrested the handle 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.

Ultimately a while 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. Nevertheless, each Romulus and Remus did not stay with their grandfather. They left and then went on to set up the metropolis of Rome around the Tiber River.

However, right after some time, Romulus and Remus had an argument simply because Remus had left the boundaries of Rome and gone outside.

In a fit of anger, Romulus killed his brother. Right after his brother's demise, Romulus continued to reign Rome and did so for a number of years. He then gave up his throne then went on to become a god called 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.
