It all started in 753 BC when a pair of brothers, Romulus and Remus decided to found a city on the banks of the Tiber River but they couldn't agree on who was the boss. They fought and Romulus won and he named the city after himself, Rome. Fast forward a few centuries and Rome had become one of the most influential and powerful cities in the Mediterranean world. The Roman Republic was born. But nothing lasts forever - a man named Julius Caesar came along and said "I'm taking over" and he did. That's when the Roman Empire was born. #italy #rome #romanrepublic #romanempire #juliuscaesar #romulus #remus
