Mythology tells us that Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus. Virgil tells us that it was founded by refugees from Troy. In reality, it was probably founded by a group of Latin farmers banding together for mutual defense.

∙ 13y agoSomewhere between 900 and 800 BC, the Italian Peninsula was settled by a mysterious peoples called the Etruscans.. We don't know where the Etruscans came from, but archaeologists suspect that they came from the eastern Mediterannean, possibly Asia Minor. We will, however, never really know where they came from or why they colonized Italy. We do know that when they came to Italy, they brought civilization and urbanization with them. They founded their civilizations in north-eastern Italy between the Appenine mountain range and the Tyrrhenian Sea
While the Etruscans were busy building their power over Italy and engaging in active commerce with the east and with Africa, a city to their south began to grow precipitously, a city imitating Etruscans in many ways: the Roman KIngdom
Rome was founded by an agrarian Italic peoples living south of the Tiber river. They were a tribal people and the social logic of tribal organization dominated Roman society in both its early and late histories. The date of the Founding Of Rome is uncertain, but archaeologists date its founding to around 753 BC, although it probably existed as a small village long before then.
As the Romans steadily developed their city, its government, and its culture, they imitated the neighboring civilization to the north, the Etruscans. The Etruscans, though, as they saw the power and influence of the Latin city to their south grow, would take over the government from these new, threatening people.
The conquest of Italy began soon after the Romans expelled the Tarquins in 509 BC; their first target were the Etruscans themselves. Allying themselves with other Latins and with the Greeks, the Romans quickly drove the Etruscans from the Italian peninsula. Etruscan Civilization came to a brutal end. Rome steadily conquered all the Etruscan territory throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC.
In 295 BC, Rome began a war with a tough Latin people living in the Appenine mountains, the Samnites, who were joined by the remaining Etruscan Cities, by Gaulish tribes, and some rebellious Italian cities. The result of this war, in 280 BC, was total Roman control over all of Central Italy. Rome then turned its eyes south to the Greek cities and quickly overpowered them. By the middle of the third century BC, Rome controlled all of the Italian peninsula.

What was religion that roman leader considered a problem and why?
They reacted harshly against any religion which they considered was promoting revolution. First it was the Bacchanalians in the Second Century BCE. Later th Christians came under suspicion, as unlike honest worshipers who went to temples they met in private houses and had cannibalistic ceremonies of eating human flesh and drinking human blood. This sort of activities smacked of conspirators committing sacrileges so that they could not rat on each other as they faced the death penalty for the sacrilege. Also they were the Nazorean sect of Judaism until the Jews expelled them in the 90s CE to avoid Roman suspicion of them as well as the Christians. The results were the purges.
