How long did it take to build Rome?

Answer 1

The term the foundation of Rome does not refer to the building of a city. It refers to the creation of the Roman city-state. It involved the unification of separate and independent settlements on what where to become the seven hills of Rome into a single state headed by a king. The earlier archaeological evidence of human settlement in the area of Rome goes back to some 500 years earlier than the creation of the Roman city-state.
