There is many legends about Rome's birth, but I will tell you the one about Remus and Romulus. Remus and Romulus were twin brothers. Their mother is Rhea Silvia. Their father is the god of war, Mars. Rhea Silvia is the daughter of the king Numinor. She was deprived of the throne by her brother, Amulius. Amulius feared that his grand-nephews, Remus and Romulus, would take the throne. He ordered to throw Remus and Romulus in the Tiber. But they were thrown in the water in baskets and they survived. A wolf found them and nursed them. (There is an another version where a prostitute called "the wolf" found them.) Later, when they discovered the secret of their birth, they killed Amelius.

Romulus and Remus decided to found a city. They had a fight because they disagreed with the name they will give to the city. In the end of the fight, Romulus killed Remus. Romulus named his city "Roma".
