    Early Rome began as settlements formed at the end of the Bronze Age in 1000 BC that eventually merged into a unified urban community by the 7th century BC. Knowledge of this early period comes from archaeology and early Roman historians like Quintus Fabius Pictor, including the foundation myth of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf. Stories also involved figures like Aeneas fleeing Troy and women like the Sabine women who were raped and Lucretia who committed suicide after being raped, sparking revolution in Rome.
