Beginning
Tradition has it that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus on 21 April 753 BC. Romulus was the first of seven kings, the last of whom, Tarquin the Proud, was deposed in 510 BC. Rome then favoured a republican system of government, with various types of leadership tried, until Augustus Caesar was created the first Emperor in 23 BC.
