After it gained men it began to grow until they made and army and grew until they ruled quite a lot of Italy. They later they were known as the Holy Roman Empire. They took over most of Europe , the Middle East and parts of Africa. Around 2000 yr ago they came into Britain.

How they were formed

• Romulus was the original founder and his brother Remus who helped. They lived by themselves on the bank of the river Tiber until a she-wolf who cared for them for a while until they went on to a shepherd, they lived with him for the rest of their lives. Both of them were the sons of the God Mars. Where they were found with the shepherd was where Rome was born.
