Among the many legends, the most ingrained is about the two founders who are represented as suckling as babes on a mother wolf. Rome was said to have been ruled at first by one of these brothers, Romulus, an Etruscan who crowned himself king. Romans believed that he and his twin brother Remus had been born the sons of a Vestal Virgin. Another view is that the Romans liked to believe that they were descended in a direct line from Ancient Greece, the major civilization that prevailed before them in Europe and the Middle East. Their main legend of origin was recorded in the great work The Aeneid, written by Virgil (70 - 19 BCE). According to this epic poem, Aeneas, a warrior of Troy and son of a prince of Troy and the goddess Athena, was a valiant fighter for the doomed city of Troy, but when the city finally fell to its besiegers, he led a band of his people westward to found, eventually and after much wandering, the city of Rome, a new homeland for his divine nation with its godly origins. Historically, Rome was originally a market town dominated by the Etruscans, migrants who most likely were originally from Anatolia. As a result, the names in all choices except Choice E - Arabs appear in recounts of the origin of the city Rome. The correct answer is E.
