According to Latin and Roman mythology, was Latinus was the first king of the Latins and the son of Faunus (the horned god of the forest, plains and fields) and Marica (a nymph). He welcomed Aeneas and his Trojans migrated to Latium (the land of the Latins) so they could reorganize their lives after the Trojan War. In Greek Mythology, he was the son of Odysseus and Circe (a goddess of magic) and ruled over the Tyrsenoi, whom some historians think were the Etruscans.

Romulus killed Remus following a fit of jealousy by the latter. Romulus did not build Rome. The founding of Rome does not refer to the founding of the city. It refers to the creation the Roman state. Romulus unified the peoples who lived on the settlements of the hills which were to become the seven hills of Rome under his rule. Collectively, these settlements became Rome. Romulus was the first king of Rome as well as the founder of the city.

Why was Rome built where it was?

The Latins chose the edge of the Tiber due to its proximity to a major Etruscan (a tribal people in northern Italy) trade road and its great soil. The Romans said that they settled at the edge of the river becasue their founders Romulus and Remus were found there as infants. That is unlikely, considering the legend has it that they were being nutured by a wild wolf. I hope I helped.
