Who were the decendants of Rome's earliest settlers?

Answer 1

The first settlers were Latins who lived on the seven hills of Rome. The foundation of Rome was a union of these settlers under a king. It was also said to have also involved a fusion between the Latins of these hills and Sabines who had settlers on two of these hills

There was also a legend that tried to establish the Romans as descendants of the Trojans, but that was just that, a legend.

Answer 2

There were no descendants of the earliest settlers of Rome. The foundation of Rome does not refer to the building of a new city and settling there. It refers to the creation of the Roman city-state. It involved the unification of separate existing settlements on what were to become the Seven Hills of Rome into a single city and state which was called Rome. The earliest inhabitants of Rome already lived in the area which became Rome.

The patricians were the aristocracy of Rome. Many patrician clans (not all of them) could trace their origin to the earliest days of Rome. However, the majority of the population of the newly created city-state must have been non-patrician. Aristocracies are powerful but small groups.

Answer 3

Studying the features of the Roman statues I believe that the early Roman settlers were from the north, i.e. Europe, rather than from Asia - the views of an artist studying the work of his colleagues.

Answer 4

The descendants of Rome's earliest settlers were the patricians and the plebeians.

Answer 5

Latins
