The Romans overthrew which group and set up the republican form of government?
The history of Rome began with a mythic tale of Romulus and Remus, who were the twin sons of Mars and the Vestial Rhea Sylvia. Similar to the Moses mythology, at birth Romulus and Remus were placed in a basket and left to float down the river Tiber. When the twins in a basket finally found shore, they were discovered by a she wolf who suckled and raised them until they were a shepherd and his family. Whey they had grown into manhood, Romulus and Remus decided to found a city and split it amongst them but it wasn't long before jealousies and rivalry began and at some point Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself. Roman tradition tells a story of a Rome under the control of seven Kings who controlled Rome, beginning with Romulus, from 753 to 509 BC. There is some debate as to who these seven kings were and how much control the neighboring Etruscans had on Rome, but their influence on Roman culture is only surpassed by the Greeks of who Rome admired greatly. As the Etruscan Empire began to wane, Rome found opportunity to rebel and gain independence from Etrscanian monarchies. This is the time that Rome rejected monarchies for a republic and Senatorial type of government. From the moment that republic was established all the way up to the Principate, Rome was mired in never ending wars and in spite of that, some would argue because of that Rome became the great city of popular imagination.

Where the Romans originated from?
According to myth, the twins Romulus and Remus, descendants of Trojan Prince Aeneas, founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE. Romulus killed Remus, thus Rome was named after Romulus. Another tale tells of the Prince Aeneas leading a group of Trojans to seek out a new Troy after the Trojan War. After a rough sea journey, they landed at the Tiber. The women were shaken by the journey and, led by a woman named Roma, they burned the ships. When the men got over their anger, they settled down and, on discovering how idyllic it was, named the settlement after Roma. Although the village of Rome was probably founded sometime in the 8th century BCE, there is some evidence of the Latin tribe in the area around the 10th century BCE. The Etruscans gained control in the 7th century BCE but lost it in the late 6th century BCE, to be seized by the Latin and Sabine tribes who went on to form a republic.
Did the Romans see themselves as having mythological origins?
Yes, the Romans had many myths about their origins. One of the most famous is the myth of Romulus and Remus. In the city of Alba Longa, the king had a daughter named Rhea Silvia. The king's brother usurped the kingdom and imprisoned Rhea Silvia to prevent unwanted heirs. However, Rhea Silvia was impregnated by Mars and two twins were born, Romulus and Remus. The babies put in a basket and sent down the Tiber River. Their cries were heard by a wolf who had recently lost her cubs. She suckled the babies and they survived. The babies were found by a shepherd named Fastula and raised by him. When the twins had grown, they discovered their true origins and returned to Alba Longa and restored their grandfather to his thrown. Then they went on to found their own city, Rome (named after Romulus).
Why is it that when a stone is thrown into a river it goes down the river and a boat made of steel that is heavier than stone coUld float on the river?
it's not a matter of weight, it's a matter of density. The rock is dense, so it sinks. The boat may be steel, but it is also full of air. If it were solid steel it would sink.
