Rome began with a wall. According to legend, on the 21 April 753 BCE Remus stepped over the wall of the Roma Quadrata (literally “the Square Rome”) that his twin Romulus had built on the corner of the Palatine Hill above the Tiber. This breach of his fortification so angered Romulus that according to the most common version of the story he killed his brother, and his settlement was named Roma in his honour.
So enjoyable. Makes the ironing pile go down a lot faster!
