The very earliest settlements along the Tiber River in the
region that later became the city of Rome were most probably
ruled by a chieftain or warlord with the support of the heads of
the leading families within or near the settlement. Virgil and
the other epic writers tell us that the city of Rome was founded
by Romulus, and that early on he murdered his brother Remus for
ridiculing his pomerium, or the sacred boundary of the city he
had founded. This city was named Rome after its legendary
founder, and we have a suitably heroic beginning for a city that
would one day rule the entire Western world. Writers of later
eras, including many Romans, would infer quite a bit from the
part of the story where Romulus murders his brother, and say
that as Rome was founded in an act of bloodshed, so the shedding
of blood would become part of the Roman legacy. Please feel free
