The early history of Rome is somewhat shrouded in mystery.
00:00:00
A lot of Rome's early historical records were destroyed when barbarians sacked the city in 390 BC.
00:00:11
Historians and archaeologists have put pieces of the puzzle together to give us a picture of how Rome was likely founded.
00:00:19
There are several different stories telling how the city of Rome was founded.
00:00:34
Some are more historical, while others are mythological tales told by poets and authors.
00:00:38
Historical
00:00:47
Rome was likely first settled around 1000 BC.
00:00:48
The first settlement was built on Palatine Hill, because it was easily defended.
00:00:53
Over time, the six other hills around Palatine were also settled.
00:00:59
As the settlement grew, it became a city.
00:01:04
A public area was built between the hills of Palatine and Capitoline that became known as the Roman Forum.
00:01:06
Mythical
00:01:15
Roman mythology says that Rome was founded in 753 BC by the twins Romulus and Remus.
00:01:16
While building the settlement on Palatine Hill, Romulus killed Remus and became the first king of Rome.
00:01:24
Where does the name Rome come from?
00:01:33
Roman mythology and history states that the name comes from its founder, Romulus.
00:01:36
There are other theories put forth by historians and archaeologists as to where Rome got its name.
00:01:42
It may have come from the Etruscan word for the Tiber River, Rumon.
00:01:48
During the early formation of Rome, Italy was settled by many different peoples.
00:01:53
These included the Latin peoples, the first to settle Rome,
00:02:03
the Greeks, who settled along the coast of Italy,
00:02:07
the Sabines, and the Etruscans.
00:02:11
The Etruscans were a powerful people who lived nearby Rome.
00:02:15
They likely had a significant influence on the culture and the early formation of Rome.
00:02:19
Some of the kings of Rome were Etruscan.
00:02:25
The Kings of Rome
00:02:30
Before the Roman Empire was formed, Rome was ruled by kings.
00:02:31
Roman history tells of seven kings starting with Romulus in 753 BC.
00:02:37
Each king was elected by the people for life.
00:02:41
The king was very powerful and acted as the leader of both the government and the Roman
00:02:47
religion.
00:02:52
Under the king was a group of 300 men called the Senate.
00:02:53
Senators had little real power during the kingdom of Rome.
00:02:58
They served more as advisors to the king and helped him to run the government.
00:03:01
The last king of Rome was Tarchin the Proud.
00:03:10
Tarkin was a cruel and violent king.
00:03:14
Eventually, the Roman people and the Senate revolted and expelled Tarkin from the city.
00:03:17
They formed a new government without a king called the Roman Republic in 509 BC.
00:03:23
Under the Roman Republic, the government of Rome was ruled by two elected leaders called consuls.
00:03:31
The consuls only served for one year and were advised by the Senate.
00:03:38
It was during the Republic that Rome expanded to become one of the great civilizations in world history.
00:03:41
Interesting facts about the early history of Rome.
00:03:51
The poet Virgil told another founding tale of Rome where the Trojan hero Aeneas founded Rome many years before Romulus and Remus.
00:03:54
Palatine Hill later became the home to many of the most wealthy and famous Romans such as Augustus, Mark Anthony, and Cicero.
00:04:06
The hill stands around 230 feet above the city and provided good views and fresh air.
00:04:15
When Rome was first founded there were only 100 senators.
00:04:25
More were added later and the number reached 300 by the founding of the Republic.
