The Founding of Rome and the Kingdom Era

According to legend, Rome was founded by the twin brothers Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. As the city grew, it was ruled by a series of kings who established Rome's laws, military, and social structure. Notable among them was the Etruscan king, Tarquin the Proud, whose reign was marked by both prosperity and tyranny.
