The city of Florence was created and established by the Roman Consul Sulla in 80 BC. Originally, and like many other Roman cities especially in the north, Florence was created as a settlement for Roman veterans just retired from active duty. The name Florence, Italian Firenze and old Italian form "Florentia," derived from the name Sulla gave the city originally: "Fluentia", from the Latin for Afluents, as in water from rivers. The name was fitting because Florence was first settled in the land between two rivers in Tuscany.
