Happy Birthday Rome 2776th

[SAJID]

Hello to all,

21 April is a highly significant date for the Romans, because it is on this day, in the year 753 BC, that the foundation of the Eternal City began. . It is therefore the birthday of Rome. 

In 2024, Rome will honor its 2,776th birthday, a testament to its enduring legacy as the Eternal City. Natale di Roma, or the Birthday of Rome, unfolds with historical re-enactments, echoing the ancient Roman rituals.

Hi to all,

      very interesting ancient story base of Rome -  According to legend, Ancient Rome was founded by the two brothers, and demigods, Romulus and Remus, on 21 April 753 BCE. The legend claims that in an argument over who would rule the city (or, in another version, where the city would be located) Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself. This story of the founding of Rome is the best known but it is not the only one.

Other legends claim the city was named after a woman, Roma, who traveled with Aeneas and the other survivors from Troy after that city fell. Upon landing on the banks of the Tiber River, Roma and the other women objected when the men wanted to move on. She led the women in the burning of the Trojan ships and so effectively stranded the Trojan survivors at the site which would eventually become Rome. Aeneas of Troy is featured in this legend and also, famously, in Virgil's Aeneid, as a founder of Rome and the ancestor of Romulus and Remus, thus linking Rome with the grandeur and might which was once Troy.
