According to legend, the European city that was founded by twins in 753 BC is Rome. The twins, Romulus and Remus, were said to have been abandoned in the Tiber river as infants and were rescued and raised by a she-wolf. As adults, they fought over the location for their new city, with Romulus killing Remus and naming the city after himself. This mythological story has become a significant part of Rome's cultural heritage.
