Romulus, the son of Rhea Silvia and Mars, founded Rome on the Palatine

Hill, above the Tiber, 753 B.C., on the site of the Arcadian city of

Evander, near the Lupercal, where the wolf had given him suckle. The

city was built after the Etruscan rites, and surrounded by a massive

wall, in a quadrangular form, whence it was called Roma Quadrata. See

"Walls of Rome," page xvii.
