Rome was founded in 753 BC by twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. Legend has it that they were left to drown in a basket on the Tiber by a king of nearby Alba Longa and rescued by a she-wolf. The twins lived to defeat that king and founded their own city on the river banks in 753 BC.
Romulus killed his brother and became the first king of Rome, which is named after him. There are seven legendary kings of Rome: Romulus, Nama Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Martius, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius, and Tarquinius Superbus. They were referred to as "Rex , or King in Latin. All the kings after Romulus were elected by the senate.
