Hi, Epictetus
I agree with you: many archaeological excavations confirm human presence, on the site of Rome, many centuries (from 1600 BC ) before the "Official Foundation Date."
The new discovery is not a trivial wall. This wall, made from blocks of volcanic tuff, appeared to have been built to channel water from a spring under the Capitoline hill that flows into the river Spino, a tributary of the Tiber.
This may be the first work of infrastructure under an area where there will be the assemblies of the people in arms, and where will convene the Council of the King.
An area that will become the most sacred in Rome: the "Forum Romanum".
arrivederci,
emilio
