City of Rome:
The city of the seven hills is the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic
Church, and has controlled the destiny of all civilization known to Europe
for well over a millennium. Ancient Romans believed their city had been
founded on 21 April 753 BC. According to myth the city was founded
by the twins Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned on the shores of the
Tiber and brought up by a she-wolf.
