There is only one account of the foundation of Rome, the legend of Romulus and Remus. The legend of Aeneas gave the Romans Trojan ancestry. There were also two legends which predated the foundation of Rome: the legend of Hercules and the legend of Evander.
In the legend of Romulus and Remus, these twin babies were left in the River Tiber in a basket. Their mother (Silvia Rea) was the daughter of the king of Alba Longa, (Numitor) who had been deposed by his brother (Amulius). Later the twins found out about this, went to Alba Longa, deposed Amulius, restored Numitor and went back to the Palatine Hill. They decided to found a new city, but Romulus wanted to found it on the Palatine Hill and Remus wanted it on the Aventine Hill. Romulus won the dispute and begun building a sacred wall around his hill. A spiteful Remus trespassed it and Romulus killed him. Romulus went on to become the king of Rome.
In the legend of Aeneas, Aeneas was a hero of the Trojan War. He sailed the Mediterranean and landed in what is not Tunisia. He then sailed again and landed in Latium (land of the Latins. Latinus, the king of the Latins, welcomed him and offered him the hand his daughter, Lavinia, who had been promised to Turnus, the king of the nearby Rutuli. This angered Turnus and war broke out. Aeneas won, but Latinus died. Aeneas built a city and named it Lavinia after his wife. His son Ascanius founded the Latin city of Alba Longa and its ruling dynasty. This made Romulus and Remus descendants of Aeneas and the Trojans.
In Roman mythology, for his tenth labour, Hercules had to get the cattle of Geryion, a giant who was the grandson of Medusa and lived in the far west of the Mediterranean. On his way back, Hercules grazed this cattle near the cave of Casus, a fire-breathing giant and the son of Vulcan, who lived in a cave in the future site of Rome and who terrorised the locals because he ate human flesh and nailed their heads on the door of his cave. While Hercules slept, Casus stole eight of his cattle. Hercules heard the moo of the cows, found the cave and killed Cacus. The locals were grateful.
In the legend of Evander, who was a hero from Arcadia (n the Peloponnese of Greece), he and his followers founded a settlement on the Palatine Hill called Pallantium sixty years before the Trojan War and a temple dedicated to Hercules in the Forum Boarium area near this hill. Evander and his people hosted Hercules and then venerated him for killing Cacus. In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas came on Evander and his people while they were worshipping Hercules. Evander had known Aeneas' father s before the Trojan War and had a common ancestry with him though Atlas. He decided to Help Aeneas in his war against Turnus. After his death Evander was deified and a temple was dedicated to him on the Aventine Hill. Evander was said to have brought the Greek alphabet and the Greek gods, and Greek learning and laws to Rome
