Explanation
The traditional date for Rome’s founding is 753 BCE, though it is a belief rather than a date confirmed by written records. Written records from Rome’s earliest period were not kept, so little is known for certain about its founding. Archaeologists have also found a wall in the Roman Forum that may date to around 900 BCE; there is no archaeological evidence that Remus founded Rome in 717 BCE.
