The city of Rome was founded in the 8th century BC.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent historical sources corroborate the 8th century BC founding date, including the traditional date of 753 BC established by Roman scholar Varro. Archaeological evidence from the Palatine Hill (circa 750 BC) aligns closely with historical accounts. Five credible sources confirm this dating.
