It all started with Romulus and Remus,Sons of Rhea and Mars,the God of War(also known as Ares in greek mythology). Their Uncle didn't want them to take the throne so he put the two babies in a basket and threw them in the Tiber river hoping the would drown. On their way in the river, a she-wolf saw them and picked them up. She took care of them like they were her own babies. One day, a shepherd named Faustulus, saw them and "adopted" them until they were old enough to live their own life. When the boys were old enough, Faustulus told them their real identity. They decided to kill their uncle for all the bad he did. Then, they decided to built a city. They loved the idea, but they didn't realize that it would cause trouble. When they came to th point of finding a king, They both wanted to be IT. They started to fight. After several days of fighting, Romulus finally got to the point that he was fed up and he killed his brother Remus.

This is how the name "Rome" comes from "Romulus"
