 The earliest use of the comitium as a political assembly area, along with the beginnings of Rome itself, is blurred between legend and archaeological discovery.The traditional stories of King Servius Tullius and Romulus have many similarities regarding the origins of the Comitia, leading Romulus to be often interpreted as a copy of Tullius.Both were closely related to the god Vulcan, played a role in organizing the "comitia", and were depicted as founders of Rome.
