The year given for the foundation of Rome vries from 753 BC and 728 BC. Eventually the date suggested by Marcus Terentius Varro, 753 BC, was agreed.

Yes, it can be argued that Rome did not fall in 476 AD. The event that happened in 476 was that Odoacer, who controlled Italy, deposed the last Roman Emperor of the West, a six year old boy named Romulus Augustulus. When that happened, he and the Senate sent a commission to the ruling Roman Emperor of the East asking that he govern both the East and the West, reuniting the Roman Empire, which had been divided into halves in 395 AD. The Western Roman Senate continued to operate in the West (I don't know if it was operating in Rome or Ravenna), and the last record we have of it was a greeting sent to the Emperor in about 605 AD. The East Roman Empire continued to try to control the west for hundreds of years, though with poor success, and continued to operate until Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453. Romulus Augustulus, by the way, retired to a very nice estate in the country and lived the rest of his life there.

I suppose it is because Romulus and Remus is a classic story of sibling rivalry, like Jacob and Esau in the Old Testament. Also, Romulus and Remus were abandoned to die and were saved by the she-wolf, which implies a predestination for them.
According to Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus were said to be very young when they founded Rome. They were infants, believed to be around two years old, when they were abandoned and later rescued by a she-wolf.
As legend has it, there were two babies left out in the fields, Romulus and Remus. They were found and raised by a she-wolf, and when they got old enough they built there own cities, not being able to agree on one spot to build one city. Remus decided to jump over Romulus's wall mocking him for how easily he could get into his city. Romulus killed Remus, and created the city of Rome.That's just the legend though. Nobody knows how it actually started.
The legendary founders of Rome were the twins Romulus and Remus, who were supposedly raised by a female wolf (which is said to have found them in the river Tiber). Later on, stories were written around this legend to give some depth to the foundations of roman culture and history. In the Aeneid, by Vergil ('Virgilius'), the protagonist is Aeneas, one of the survivors of the destruction of Troy. According to the story, he was a forefather of the kings of the Latium, and of Remus and Romulus.
Zeus is an English and German name of Indoeuropean origin. An older form of the name is Zeus (Old Greek). The name was borne in Greek mythology by the king of the gods, the sky, and the thunder, who ruled over Mount Olympus.

In A.D. 476 he took control of Rome by overthrowing the western emperor, a 14-year old boy named Romulus Agustulus.
It all started with Romulus and Remus,Sons of Rhea and Mars,the god of war(also known as Ares in greek mythology). Their Uncle didn't want them to take the throne so he put the two babies in a basket and threw them in the Tiber river hoping the would drown. On their way in the river, a she-wolf saw them and picked them up. She took care of them like they were her own babies. One day, a shepherd named Faustulus, saw them and "adopted" them until they were old enough to live their own life. When the boys were old enough, Faustulus told them their real identity. They decided to kill their uncle for all the bad he did. Then, they decided to built a city. They loved the idea, but they didn't realize that it would cause trouble. When they came to th point of finding a king, They both wanted to be IT. They started to fight. After several days of fighting, Romulus finally got to the point that he was fed up and he killed his brother Remus. This is how the name "Rome" comes from "Romulus"
The true founding of Rome has been lost with the ages, the legend involving Romulus and Remus is what has survived. Although most academics understand the Romans to have overthrown the Etruscans around this time.

Romulus did set up a monarchy. He was the first king of Rome. He set up the senate as his royal advisory body. It was a council of elders. Senatus (senate) was derived from senex, old man. He appointed 100 patres falmilias (heads of the household) from the leading clans of Rome to seat in the senate.

The patricians were the aristocracy of ancient Rome. The name is derived from the term pater familias (father of the family/head of the household) and from the creation of the senate by Romulus, Rome's founder and first king. Romulus created a council of elders (senate is derived from senex, the Latin for old man) to act as the royal advisory body. He selected 100 pater familias from the leading clans of Rome at the time to seat in the senate. The members of these clans then called themselves patres (plural of pater) a term which implied that they were the fathers of the city.
