This was a good video but it's important to keep in mind we have almost no reliable evidence about the Regal period. When the Gauls sacked Rome in 390 BC, almost all historical records were lost. What we think we know about Roman Kings is almost 100% legend. There are also many anachronisms in the stories; reading Livy's account gives you the impression that the Republic emerged almost fully formed following the exile of Tarquin the Proud. In reality it probably took many decades for traditional Republican institutions to develop. There were probably more than seven kings, as all their reigns are implausibly long. The stories about the Tarquins are probably a repressed memory of Etruscan domination of Rome, as there seems to have been a definite period where Etruscan influence is undeniable, just from the archeological record.

For example, Romulus' life is almost entirely legendary, while some of the later kings are semi-legendary, with the last few being historical. Correction: The Roman Census was not the first census in the world. I know that there was at least one during the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, which predates the Kingdom of Rome by quite a few centuries.

imho it is a myth but even more recent events get misreported to the nth degree such that the lie becomes the fact. Given that the Cloaca Maxima was the first structure in the foundation of Rome, and that it was built by Etruscans using Etruscan money; Rome was an Etruscan endeavor. The well founded Etruscans saw an opportunity on their southern border, drained a marsh that kept tribes living on the surrounding hills separate; and gave them farmland and a safe inland connection to the sea. Eventually the Etruscans over meddled to their doom.

I can answer that (Muslim here). The majority and I really mean MAJORITY of Actual Western European tribes/people (ancient and today) are descendants of Esau, older brother to the younger Jacob. The first son to Isaac, who is the 2nd son of Abraham (Ishmael is older by 14yrs born in 1999BC/3999); in a bigger picture, their lineage falls under "Shem" or Sam (In Arabic) second son of Noah/Nuh, but I'm sure you know that since your name states that and so does your question...Western European tribes started in Greece, that civilisation on the Crete island 3,900 years ago, give or take. Of course, this civilisation is "small and young" compared to the likes of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egyptian; but, it is nevertheless a civilisation. and that's where you get your Mycenaeans. Fast forward even further, after the collapse of the "1M" period, Greece was inhabited by the 'Dorians' and 'Sea People'. The Mycenaeans moved northwest where overtime after they moved to their new location, you'll hear people such as "Etruscans", "Sabines" and more appearing. What soon followed is the Romans, who are intermixture and descendants of those tribes I mentioned. The Romans eventually would give birth to more tribes of Western European, conquering the likes of Gauls (who is not the default ancestors of French people today, maybe some but not the majority) and others. Basically, the tribes that aren't Western are those that came down to mainland Europe via Scandinavia or through the Vistula. In simple terms, it must have nothing to do with any form of the Kurgan culture. Today, modern European anthropologists and genealogists cannot decipher where these tribes come from...the possibility of these tribes coming from the Pontic-Steppe has been debunked by the footprint of these tribes from various researchers, except those researchers that are Eastern European, they're still fighting today insisting that all Europeans are from that Steppe theory. You can see the bias-ness that they're playing here. Please, Please bear in mind, that I AM IN NO WAY SAYING THAT WESTERN EUROPEAN PEOPLE ARE DESCENDANTS OF ARABS. Before any of you that might comment on this post tells me I'm trying to push an Islamic "Agenda". I am not. Why? 1.Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael and that's that. 2.Islam wasn't even ordained to be revealed yet.

This seems to be a bit rushed. The real story is: Rome was a city they grew quite big and then were conquered/vassalized by the Etruscans. Who ruled for a few hundre years. Eventually the romans removed the etruscan kings from power and despised Depotism(kings) and never wanted them again. Leading to the start of the republic(after many attempts by the etruscans to reseat a king in Rome). Eventually the etruscans wound up in battles against greeks and were invaded by gauls, so they were weakended and rome took them on taking some of their territory and becoming a major player in the Italian Peninsula. The gauls then ended up sacking rome too.

This could have been perfect monty python material.

While the kings themselves are most likely myth, they do provide us with a good narrative of the development of early Rome. From its origin as a small town of misfits who were tamed by religion, to the people's overthrowing of their Etruscan overlords.

The city-state of Rome was definitely not the first republic in history. I think you're forgetting the nearby Greeks, as there were dozens of Greek republics by this point, i.e. 509 BC. Hell, even Punic Carthage would become a republic and throw out its own monarch by 480 BC. There were Greek cities in Magna Graecia, i.e. southern Italy, that were Republics by then, such as Taras (modern Taranto, Italy), to say nothing of the island of Sicily, Massalia in France and Emporion in Spain.

...and for that matter, are you assuming Athens, the chief example of a democracy, was a full direct democracy by 509 BC? Just look at the evolution of its constitution from Draco to Solon, and you will see that the city had a mixed system much like the Romans, with an aristocracy that had various oligarchic powers that only began to wane with Solon & finally disappeared during the Age of Pericles in the Classical period.

C. Morgan Free nice to see you too

The Roman - Sabine relationship is so nuts. If you tried to make a movie of this bit of history, the audience would get annoyed because of how crazy it looks.
