Italy in 750 BCE
•Rome was said to have been founded by Latin colonists from Alba Longa, a nearby city in ancient Latium.
•The legendary date of the founding was 753 BC.
•The three tribes, the Ramnes, Tities, and Luceres, that appear in the legend of Romulus suggest that Rome arose from the amalgamation
of three peoples, thought to be Latin, Sabine, and Etruscan.
