Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus. Rome became the capital city of Italy in 1870. Rome is known as the "Eternal City'. Rome's population is  2.627 million. In the ealry fourth century romans had built a road network of 53, 000 miles. Modern rome has 280 fountains and 900 churches. Rome was built in seven hills, a term coined to describe the Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, etc. Rome built the first-ever shopping mall between 107 and 110 AD. It was built by Emperor Trojan in Rome. Julius Ceaser was the one who introduced the modern 12 month calendar. I would like to go there it looks really amazing and interesting.
