Romulus, Remus, & The Geography Of Rome Many events happened in Rome. Along the Tiber River was where Rome started to develop. Two factors played an important role in the Romans success and growth.

The book Are We Rome by Cullen Murphy gives a detailed history of Rome from its start to its demise. Then goes to introduce America’s history as well as comparing the two.
